Mission, Vision, and Direction Setting

Overview
VisionPoint Consulting is often called upon to assist our clients with their business planning process. Our consulting services are customized to the unique needs of each client. In general, however, we often begin our work with clients by conducting an assessment to identify the organization's wants, needs, and opportunities. As we continue working with organizations, we create a context in which thought leaders can step back and examine the current state of the business and contrast it with their desired future. We then assist with strategy planning to move the organization forward.
