## Key pages
- [Home](https://strategyplanning.ca/): StrategyPlanning.ca helps owner-led Canadian companies and their boards write a three-year plan, turn year one into an operating budget, and review progress every quarter with a short scorecard.
- [Services](https://strategyplanning.ca/services/): Six services cover the full planning cycle. Most companies need two or three of them at first; this page explains which, and in what order.
- [Areas we serve](https://strategyplanning.ca/areas/): We plan with owner-led companies and boards from Victoria to St. John's and north to Iqaluit. The method stays the same everywhere; what changes by region is the calendar, the travel, the language and the risks worth modelling.
- [About](https://strategyplanning.ca/about/): A Canadian strategic planning practice for owner-led companies and their boards, part of the Sedighi.ca and SAZ.ca group, headquartered in Vancouver and led by Ali Sedighi, MBA.
- [Results](https://strategyplanning.ca/results/): Our published results come from our HVAC work. They are marketing and growth outcomes, not planning outcomes, but they show the habits a plan depends on: clear targets, separate units and monthly measurement.
- [Pricing](https://strategyplanning.ca/pricing/): We use the group's published consulting rates: $175–$350 an hour, $3,500–$25,000 per project and $2,500–$12,000 a month on retainer. The first 30-minute consultation is free.
- [FAQ](https://strategyplanning.ca/faq/): Answers to the questions owners and board members ask before starting a planning engagement: cost, contracts, time commitment, ownership, reporting and how we work with boards.
- [Contact](https://strategyplanning.ca/contact/): Call or text (604) 632-4959, or email Ali@Sedighi.ca. A short text is a perfectly good start. We usually reply within one business day, Mon–Fri 9–6 Pacific.

## Services
- [Operating plan](https://strategyplanning.ca/services/annual-operating-plan/): The operating plan converts strategy into months, dollars and people: a driver-based budget, a hiring calendar and a short list of funded initiatives, each with an owner.
- [Offsite facilitation](https://strategyplanning.ca/services/leadership-offsite/): A prepared, facilitated session that ends with decisions written down and owners named. One or two days, in person at a venue you choose or online by video.
- [OKRs and scorecard](https://strategyplanning.ca/services/okrs-kpi-scorecard/): The scorecard tells you every month whether the company is on track; OKRs say what you are changing this quarter to get there. We design both and connect them to the plan.
- [Quarterly reviews](https://strategyplanning.ca/services/quarterly-strategy-review/): Four times a year we prepare a short review pack, facilitate a half-day review and keep the decision log, so the plan is adjusted deliberately instead of abandoned quietly.
- [Scenario planning](https://strategyplanning.ca/services/scenario-planning/): We build three worked versions of the coming year, name the signals that show which one is unfolding, and agree the responses in advance while everyone is calm.
- [Three-year plan](https://strategyplanning.ca/services/three-year-strategic-plan/): We facilitate the decisions and write the document: a 12- to 20-page plan, a one-page strategy and a financial outline, usually completed in six to ten weeks.

## Coverage
- [Alberta](https://strategyplanning.ca/areas/alberta/): Alberta planning usually turns on two questions: how to run one company across Calgary and Edmonton, and how to budget for a customer base whose spending can swing with forces outside your control. Both are answered best with explicit scenarios.
- [British Columbia](https://strategyplanning.ca/areas/british-columbia/): British Columbia is home base for StrategyPlanning.ca. BC plans work best when they treat the coast, the Interior and the North as separate operating regions with their own seasons, targets and staffing assumptions.
- [Manitoba](https://strategyplanning.ca/areas/manitoba/): Most Manitoba companies earn the bulk of their revenue in or near Winnipeg. A good plan states that concentration plainly, decides whether to grow beyond it, and builds a budget that respects one of southern Canada's longest winters.
- [New Brunswick](https://strategyplanning.ca/areas/new-brunswick/): New Brunswick owners usually plan across three mid-sized cities and two language communities. We help decide where to concentrate, whether bilingual service is a market advantage worth funding, and how to budget for an uneven year.
- [Newfoundland and Labrador](https://strategyplanning.ca/areas/newfoundland-and-labrador/): Newfoundland and Labrador companies plan across an island and a mainland region with very different conditions. We help owners decide how far beyond the St. John's area to grow, and build budgets and timelines with the weather buffers this province demands.
- [Nova Scotia](https://strategyplanning.ca/areas/nova-scotia/): Many Nova Scotia companies are anchored in Halifax and wonder whether to grow beyond it. A good plan answers that with a costed comparison, a budget built for changeable maritime winters, and a review rhythm that keeps the decision honest.
- [Ontario](https://strategyplanning.ca/areas/ontario/): Ontario puts several large markets within a day's drive of each other, which is exactly why Ontario plans need discipline about sequence. We help owners decide which city comes next, what it will cost, and when the board reviews the bet.
- [Prince Edward Island](https://strategyplanning.ca/areas/prince-edward-island/): On Prince Edward Island, a single customer, a single season or a single manager can move the whole year. Island plans work best when they are short, name those dependencies openly, and decide deliberately whether growth comes from on or off the Island.
- [Quebec](https://strategyplanning.ca/areas/quebec/): A Quebec plan has to treat French-language requirements as part of the operating budget, not an afterthought. We plan the business, cost the language work your advisers confirm, and build the footprint from Montréal, Québec City and the regions.
- [Saskatchewan](https://strategyplanning.ca/areas/saskatchewan/): Saskatchewan companies plan across long distances and a long winter. We keep the plan short, make the scorecard do the travelling, and hold most reviews by video so leaders in Saskatoon, Regina and smaller centres can all take part.
- [Territories](https://strategyplanning.ca/areas/territories/): In Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, the operating plan is shaped by logistics, long winters and small labour pools. We help northern owners and boards build plans with wider buffers, honest hiring assumptions and, in Nunavut, language obligations built into the budget.

## Guides and articles
- [Guides](https://strategyplanning.ca/guides/): Six working guides that follow the planning cycle from the three-year plan to the quarterly review. Each one includes templates described step by step and worked numbers you can check against your own company.
- [Operating plan guide](https://strategyplanning.ca/guides/building-an-annual-operating-plan/): An annual operating plan is year one of the strategy expressed as a monthly budget, a hiring calendar and a short list of funded initiatives. This guide builds one step by step for a fictional company, including seasonality and cash.
- [Offsite agenda guide](https://strategyplanning.ca/guides/leadership-offsite-agenda/): A strategy offsite succeeds or fails before anyone arrives. This guide gives you the pre-work, a timed two-day agenda, a one-day version, the ground rules and the decision log that turn two days of talk into a plan.
- [Quarterly review guide](https://strategyplanning.ca/guides/running-a-quarterly-strategy-review/): A quarterly strategy review is a half-day meeting that checks the plan against reality and decides what changes. This guide covers the review pack and its page limits, a timed agenda, how to treat red measures and how a board receives the results.
- [Scenario planning guide](https://strategyplanning.ca/guides/scenario-planning-for-owner-led-companies/): Scenario planning means deciding today what you will do if next year goes worse or better than plan. This guide works through three scenarios for a fictional $6 million company, with triggers, pre-agreed responses and the cash runway arithmetic.
- [Three-year plan guide](https://strategyplanning.ca/guides/writing-a-three-year-strategic-plan/): A useful three-year plan is 12 to 20 pages, built in eight sections, and ends in a one-page version the whole team can read in two minutes. Here is the template, a worked example and the mistakes that make plans gather dust.
- [OKR and scorecard guide](https://strategyplanning.ca/guides/writing-okrs-and-a-kpi-scorecard/): KPIs tell you whether the business is healthy; OKRs tell you whether this quarter's changes are happening. This guide shows how to write both, with three sample objectives, a ten-measure scorecard and a simple scoring rule.
