Top Business Strategy & Planning Companies

Strategic planning work answers where a company should compete, how it will win there, and what it will stop doing. Business strategy and planning consultants run the market and competitor analysis, facilitate leadership offsites, draft a multi-year strategy with a small set of priorities, and translate it into annual goals, budgets and owners. CEOs and boards bring one in before a growth push, after a lost market position, ahead of fundraising, or when the leadership team cannot agree on priorities.

Compare these strategy consultants by the size of company they usually plan for and the planning method they use. Reviews that describe what happened after the plan was adopted are the most useful.

Hiring Business Strategy & Planning companies

What the work covers, how to judge a partner and what drives the price.

What business strategy and planning consultants deliver

A planning engagement usually runs in four stages. Discovery covers interviews with leaders, board members and sometimes customers, plus financial and market analysis. Diagnosis turns that into a view of the company's position, using tools such as SWOT, competitor mapping, customer segmentation and unit economics. Choice happens in facilitated workshops where the leadership team agrees on target markets, offers and a short list of strategic priorities. Then the plan is cascaded into objectives, KPIs, budgets and initiative owners.

Deliverables include the strategy document or board deck, a one-page strategy map, an initiative roadmap and an annual operating plan. Many consultants use a framework such as OKRs or the balanced scorecard to track execution.

Engagements are mostly fixed-fee projects, followed by an optional quarterly review retainer in which the consultant facilitates check-ins and helps adjust the plan as results come in.

Business Strategy & Planning FAQs

Short answers to what buyers ask before hiring a Business Strategy & Planning company.

Question not covered? Ask our team

A business strategy and planning consultant analyzes your market, competitors and finances, facilitates leadership discussions to agree on direction, and turns the result into a written strategy with priorities, goals, owners and budgets. Many also run quarterly reviews to keep the plan on track after adoption.

Strategic planning is usually a fixed project fee, with day rates for facilitation and retainers for ongoing reviews. Price depends on stakeholder interviews, research depth, business units and workshop days. Many listed consultants have no minimum or start at $1,000, and larger firms set floors from $25,000 up to $250,000.

A business plan describes a business model, market and financial projections, usually for lenders or investors or for a new venture. Strategic planning sets the direction and priorities of an existing company over several years and turns them into goals and budgets for the team. Some consultants do both, but the deliverables differ.

Engagements run through discovery interviews and analysis, one or more leadership workshops, plan drafting, and the cascade into annual goals and budgets. The schedule stretches with the number of stakeholders, the depth of market research needed, and how quickly the leadership team can agree. Align the timing with your budget cycle.

Consultants listed here most often work with business services firms, consumer products companies, financial services, information technology, healthcare, marketing and advertising businesses and retailers. Retail and consumer buyers often focus on channel and category choices, while services firms plan around growth and partner capacity.

Firms are listed most often in New York, London, Vancouver, Dubai, Seattle and San Francisco, with others in Toronto and Washington. Analysis can be done remotely, but most clients want leadership workshops in person, so consider travel and time zone overlap with your executive team.
