Ford Thompson Consulting can assist in designing and implementing a planning process to determine who should be included, what issues should be addressed, and what information to collect to ensure sound decision making. The role of a consultant is not to develop the strategic plan, but to act as advisor and facilitator in assisting those who will actually develop the plan. A consultant will bring to the process objectivity, organizational skills, and the ability to focus and facilitate the planning process.
