Develop and launch your new strategic plan in 30 days.
1. Prepare
Conduct a simple strategic analysis and share it with your leadership team ahead of the strategy workshop.
2. Workshop
The leadership team combines strategic analysis and judgement to draft a strategic plan in one day.
3. Refine
Gather feedback on the draft plan from staff, board, customers etc. and polish it into a final version.
4. Launch
Create a sense of excitement by launching the new strategic plan with your people.
With a simple and effective strategic plan…
Without a plan, managers tend to feel more stressed and overwhelmed. We don’t want that for you. We want to help your organisation aim high and reach its potential. To make a big impact on the world around you and to provide fulfilling work for your people.
What you get in the toolkit.
The toolkit contains everything you need (and nothing you don’t) to run the strategic planning process yourself and deliver a simple and effective plan in under 30 days.
130+ page guidebook
This beautifully designed guidebook provides step-by-step instructions. It guides you through what to do on a day-by-day basis. Providing only the information you need to move through confidently, linking to all the templates, checklists and other resources you’ll need. It’s practical and straightforward, taking a common sense approach to strategic planning.
Checklists
The guidebook includes checklists for each step of the way, to make sure you don’t miss anything.
Communication tools
Communicating with your team and stakeholders (e.g. team, staff, board, boss etc.) is a critical step to building buy in and alignment. It’s the reason why many strategic plans fail to launch.
We provide you with downloadable e-mails and calendar invites to communicate along the way, including the launch of the plan. We also provide speaking points and presentation templates for you to meet with and present your work.
There’s also a communication plan template, which you can use to launch your new strategic plan with your people.
Strategic analysis tools
Strategic analysis templates are provided to help you and your team analyse your organisation ahead of the strategic planning workshop.
Workshop agenda
A full downloadable strategic planning workshop agenda is provided. You don’t need to reinvent the wheel. Just download and distribute.
Strategic plan templates
We provide you with editable templates that you can populate with all the elements of your strategic plan. There’s the Team Alignment Canvas. And an editable modern PowerPoint presentation, ensuring your plan is presented with both style and substance.
Be a leader of impact.
We know you’re the kind of manager who wants to be a great leader that makes the world better by smashing your goals and providing a rewarding working environment for your team.
But it’s hard to do that when you’re constantly being dragged into the day-to-day firefighting going on around you.
We’re led to believe we should be supermanagers, who can somehow deal with all the day to day stuff and still find the time to step back and create a strategic vision that will inspire and guide our organisation or team. It feels impossible, right?
That’s why we’ve developed the Impact Society Strategic Planning Toolkit. We’ve taken our expertise and experience, and translated it into an easy-to-follow toolkit that contains everything you need (and nothing you don’t) to develop a straightforward strategic plan for your organisation or team in under 30 days. It means you don’t have to reinvent the wheel, because our tried and tested strategic planning process is set out in a 130+ page guidebook and supported by all the checklists, communication tools, strategic analysis tools, agendas and strategic plan templates you’ll need.
It helps CEOs, entrepreneurs, strategy professionals and managers create strategic clarity for their organisation or team. In small or big business, government agencies, not for profits and community groups.

Still have questions?
Does the toolkit work for teams (not just organisations)?
Yes, absolutely. We have designed the toolkit so that it can be used by managers of individual teams or business units. You can use it to develop a straightforward strategic plan, which will guide your team’s progress and impact over coming years. It’s an excellent way to create alignment between your team and the organisational strategy.
Is this just for businesses? Can I use it for government bodies, not for profits, educational institutions and community groups?
No, it’s not just for business. Our mission is to help all organisations, whether they be private or public, profit or not for profit, big or small. The toolkit can be applied to any type of organisation (or any team within any organisation).
Why is Impact Society the best source for strategic planning advice?
Our founders have a combined 20+ years’ experience developing practical and effective strategic plans for organisations across various sectors and industries, and of various size. We’ve tested many approaches and refined them over many years. We’ve taken the best of what we’ve learned and combined it into this toolkit, which strikes the right balance between detail and pragmatism, and gives organisations a flying chance of success.
Our tools have been used by people in high profile organisations, including Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Netflix, British Red Cross, Boeing, Warner Brothers, 3M, Comcast, the US Department of Agriculture, Doordash, Air Liquide, ABC Australia, The Ohio State University, Imperial College London and Nestlé Purina.
Can I get the fee reimbursed by my organisation?
Yes, usually.
Your organisation benefits when you clarify your long-term goals and develop an actionable plan to attain them.
It will depend on the policies and practices of your organisation. But most organisations will agree that this is a work-related investment that you can have them pay for (e.g. using a corporate credit card) or reimburse (i.e. you pay for it yourself and then claim the cost back).
You can make the case for reimbursement by noting:
- 70 % of fast-growing companies have a strategic plan1
- Organisations with a strategic plan grow 30 % faster1
- Organisations that execute well on strategy are much more likely to deliver well above average financial performance, according to The Economist Intelligence Unit
- US$350 is a modest investment when compared to the potential impact your team can make. And it’s $10,000s cheaper than many consultants would charge
Here’s a draft e-mail you can send to your boss:
Hi [your manager’s name],
I’d like to put in place a straightforward and actionable strategic plan for my team. This will create clarity and alignment between you, my team and I on our goals, what success looks like and the actionable steps we’re going to take to achieve it.
To do this, I’d like to purcahse the Impact Society Strategic Planning Toolkit. The price of the toolkit is US$350 and it will give me step-by-step instructions to create a solid strategic plan in under 30 days. It also includes all the templates, meeting agendas, checklists and communications tools I need to succeed.
I’d like to charge the cost to work (or have it reimbursed, if that’s simpler). Is that ok?
