Strategic Planning, Differentiation, Trends Analysis, & Accountability
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Elevate Advisors led the strategic planning process for Design West Architects, resulting in a comprehensive 3-year plan that included strategies, detailed tactics, and a clear timeline for implementation. Elevate’s approach also involved conducting a trends analysis, identifying key differentiators, and developing a business development growth strategy to guide the firm’s expansion. To ensure the plan stayed on track, Elevate provided quarterly visioning update meetings for accountability and progress checks.

CLIENT QUOTES
“I felt challenged in this session to not only think outside of the box but to view areas of focus from alternate perspectives.”
Joe Pienezza, AIA, LEED GA - Principal
“Elevate came well prepared to lead our firm to new heights during our Strategic Planning Session. We were able to quickly dive into important aspects of visioning thanks to pre-planning. In only one day we had buy-in from firm leadership on vision, direction, and goals: a day well spent!”
Kim Johnson, CPSM – Principal & Marketing Director
“It’s been interesting for me to watch over the years how people in our firm engage differently in these workshops. I think we had as many genuinely engaged this time as in any previous session.“
Blake Wright, ASLA - President
