The Talley Approach to Strategic Planning
Leveraging over 35 years of experience in association management, Talley’s strategic planning process is designed to drive long-term success for associations. We use a three-stage approach to build a comprehensive strategy aligned with your mission, values, and goals.
1. Pre-Planning
We begin by gathering data through interviews, focus groups, and benchmarking to get a clear picture of your current operations and goals. This includes a SWOT Analysis and an evaluation of the leadership and organization structure, to assess where your association currently stands, how it can be more efficient, where weaknesses need to be addressed, and how we can build on your strengths.
2. Strategic Plan Creation
In collaboration with your team, we develop a Five-Year Plan that focuses on achieving your association's goals through specific tactics and initiatives. This could be anything from re-organizing the leadership or committee structure, identifying revenue-generating opportunities and a plan to capitalize them, or other ideas born from our decades of experience in association management.
3. Implementation & Evaluation
Strategic planning is more than just setting goals; it’s about execution and accountability. Talley provides continuous support, helping your association stay on track with regular progress evaluations and project check-ins.
Client Testimonials
Just wanted to send a note to say thank you for everything you guys did to make the national meeting a success. Ashley and Alex were fantastic at picking up the pieces of a meeting that was very behind and getting us in a position to have great success. All attendance numbers were great in the end and Alex was amazing onsite at managing the hotel staff and logistics and keeping a professional calm environment amongst some dynamic personalities we have on our staff (myself included, lol). I got a lot of great compliments from the client on the event and we owe a lot to Talley for getting us there. We look forward to planning more meetings with you!
