A very popular Strategic Planning tool is the SWOT analysis (or SWOT matrix). However, sometimes assessing the organization's Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats is not enough to set a direction for the planning process.
This presentation provides a framework alternative to SWOT called the Strategic Goals Grid (SGG). The SGG gives the planners a different perspective to view the organization, the direction it has taken, the direction that the collective wisdom of the organization wants to take, and set goals. SGG is an extremely effective overall Organizational Analysis tool for participants of strategic and long-range planning workshops.
The SGG is implemented using 3 progressive steps:
1. Visualize and Document
2. Coalesce
3. Synthesize and Align
Other topics discussed in the presentation include Strategic Goals Grid utilization and benefits, how to populate the grid, its comparison with SWOT analysis, SWOT Definition, and the steps to SWOT Analysis.
The slide deck also includes some slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
The Strategic Goals Grid (SGG) is a practical tool that helps planners rationalize organizational objectives and goals. It is designed to be simple yet flexible, making it suitable for various scenarios. The SGG framework assists in creating objective review criteria and managing conflicting goals. This tool can be used to trigger strategic planning discussions and generate goals and objectives that align with the organization's vision.
The SGG's 4-quadrant template provides a visual reference, making the planning process more intuitive. It can be used for both individual and group exercises, ensuring that all participants' wisdom is accumulated and synthesized. The PPT includes templates for populating the grid and examples of completed grids, offering a comprehensive guide for effective strategic planning.
This PPT slide outlines a framework called the Strategic Goals Grid (SGG), designed to facilitate the strategic planning process through 3 distinct steps. Each step is visually represented, emphasizing a progressive approach to planning.
The first step, "Visualize and Document," involves individual exercises where participants are encouraged to articulate their thoughts and ideas. This phase is crucial for gathering diverse perspectives and ensuring that all voices are heard. It sets the foundation for the subsequent collaborative efforts.
Next, the "Coalesce" step shifts the focus to group exercises. Here, participants come together to discuss and refine the ideas generated in the first step. This collaborative environment fosters alignment among team members, allowing them to synthesize individual insights into a cohesive strategy. The emphasis on group dynamics highlights the importance of collective input in shaping strategic goals.
The final step, "Synthesize and Align," again involves group exercises, where the consolidated ideas are further developed and aligned with the organization's objectives. This phase is critical for ensuring that the strategic direction is not only well-defined, but also actionable.
The slide also notes that the SGG can be utilized in both individual and group settings, making it versatile for different organizational contexts. The accompanying text suggests that the framework aids in facilitating discussions and recording outcomes, which is vital for tracking progress and accountability. Overall, the SGG provides a structured yet flexible approach to kick-starting the strategic planning process, encouraging both individual reflection and collaborative alignment.
This PPT slide presents the Strategic Goals Grid (SGG), a visual framework designed to facilitate strategic planning discussions. It emphasizes 2 fundamental questions: "Do you want something?" and "Do you have it?" These questions serve as the foundation for the grid's 4 quadrants, which categorize responses based on the participants' desires and current states.
The grid is divided into 4 sections: "Achieve," "Preserve," "Avoid," and "Eliminate." Each quadrant corresponds to a combination of the 2 questions, allowing participants to explore their goals and the actions needed to reach them. For instance, if participants want something and currently have it, they fall into the "Preserve" quadrant, indicating a need to maintain their current position. Conversely, if they desire something, but do not possess it, they are in the "Achieve" quadrant, which suggests a focus on obtaining that goal.
The slide highlights the importance of visual representation in strategic planning. By structuring thoughts visually, participants can better articulate their aspirations and identify actionable steps. The SGG is based on practical experiences, suggesting that organizations can enhance processes or directions that lead to greater efficiency and success.
This framework is not limited to group settings; it can also be applied for individual planning. The SGG encourages a comprehensive examination of goals, making it a valuable tool for executives seeking clarity in their strategic initiatives. The visual nature of the grid aids in aligning team objectives and fostering a collaborative approach to planning.

The ability to search for material on demand based our project events and client requirements was great for me and proved very beneficial to my clients.
