Strategic planning is a management activity that is used to set priorities, focus energy and resources, strengthen operations, ensure that employees and other stakeholders are working toward common goals. It is a disciplined effort that produces decisions and actions that guide a company, who it serves, what it does and why it does it. Effective strategic planning articulates not only where a company is going, and the actions needed to make progress, but also how it will know if it is successful.

ESG can help your company through the following activities:

• Supporting the preparation and development of a strategic plan
• Preparation of business and financial plans
• Supporting merger and acquisition due diligence
• Evaluation of equity transactions and owner exit strategies
