Strategic Planning & Leadership Alignment
PROJECT OVERVIEW
CAGE Civil Engineering partnered with Elevate Advisors to create a comprehensive strategic plan focused on leadership alignment and long-term growth. Recognizing the need for a clear, actionable roadmap, CAGE engaged Elevate to facilitate a two-day Strategic Planning Workshop. Elevate began with pre-workshop interviews and assessments, gathering insights on the firm's position, market challenges, and leadership alignment through internal and external surveys.
Elevate helped unify the leadership team around a shared 10-year vision, while identifying CAGE’s differentiators and competitive advantages. Through strategic exercises, including a SWOT analysis, growth matrix development, and trend analysis, Elevate guided CAGE in setting three-year goals and developing a tactical one-year plan with clear objectives, key performance indicators (KPIs), and initiatives.
The final result was a comprehensive Strategic Plan Action Report, outlining long-term goals, key initiatives, and assigned responsibilities. Elevate also provided tracking tools to ensure accountability and flexibility. CAGE is now equipped with a unified leadership team and a strategic plan designed to drive sustainable growth and navigate market challenges with confidence.
Following the Strategic Planning, Elevate was contracted to manage the implementation of the plan and lead the Growth objective. Additionally, Elevate provides business development support, including the development of the firm's Business Development Plan, expansion plan, a BD playbook of all processes, resources, templates, and more. This support extends to doer-seller training, strategic recruiting, and business development strategy. Through this continued partnership, CAGE is leveraging Elevate's expertise to achieve operational excellence and drive transformative growth in a competitive market.
CLIENT QUOTES
"Working with Elevate was a transformative experience for our firm. From the start, they recognized the value we place on culture and helped us see how it directly drives outcomes like growth and revenue. Through their expertise, Elevate emphasized that metrics and results are important, but they are a natural byproduct of building and leading with a people-first approach.
Their preparation was thorough and insightful. By conducting internal surveys, team interviews, and gathering external client feedback, they provided a comprehensive understanding of our firm’s strengths and opportunities. Elevate didn’t just create a strategic plan—they facilitated a process that engaged and aligned our entire team. This was truly a ‘WE’ plan, fostering a sense of ownership and collaboration across the company.
The output was so much more than a report—it was a detailed, actionable plan. Elevate didn’t stop at high-level concepts; they provided specific KPIs, a rollout plan, and even a roadmap for our in-person retreat to introduce the plan to our team and get everyone involved. They gave us tools for accountability and guidance for implementation, ensuring we would not let the plan sit idle, but rather work in unison to navigate the established road map to success.
Beyond the plan itself, we have engaged Elevate to continue their involvement by helping us manage the implementation and lead our growth objective, ensuring that we stay on track to meet our goals. Their expertise, creativity, and commitment to our success have been invaluable.
If you’re looking for a partner who will challenge you to think differently, align your team, and deliver far more than expected, Elevate is the team you need. They turned strategic planning into one of the most rewarding investments we’ve ever made."
