Planning and Process

Strategic Planning

Most businesses begin with a single idea. That idea is usually branched into others as the business grows and expands. Often times that growth comes from taking on more tasks, more roles, and more responsibility. Sometimes you end up performing in areas that do not support your original idea. You want to grow and expand, but you want to make sure your growth and expansion reflects your core idea and your core beliefs. What do you do now? 

You call Starling to help you rediscover your roots.  Starling will partner with you to develop a clear Vision for your business. We will work with you to articulate your Mission and clearly define your Objectives.  Once you rediscover your direction, we will work with you to look at your portfolio of work. We will help you identify what work you are doing that reflects your Vision and which objectives the work directly supports. We will also help you pinpoint the work you are doing that falls outside of your Vision and Mission. We will show you just because you can do something, does not mean you necessarily should. When your business reflects your Vision and Mission, your business will be streamlined, you will reinforce your branding, and your dollars will be spent on the ideas and projects that you are passionate about.   

Process and Policy

Do your employees know your policies? Are they documented? Have you been “winging” it or creating your processes as you go along? Has your business grown so far, so fast that you have not had the chance to document, or even fully develop, your policies or processes? 

 When you have documented policies and procedures, your employees understand your expectations for their role and their business practices, helping you address issues before they happen. Documented processes help your employees follow standardized methodologies. With policies and processes in place, you are able to determine if your business is performing optimally. 

Starling is your trusted advisor to develop, or document, your policies and processes. We will provide consulting services and guide you throughout the whole process, helping you develop the policies and procedures to fit your business needs. No two companies are alike, and we strive to understand how your business works, and help you get your business to where you want it to be.
