WIQFOR strategic planning

Intelligent forecasting leads to better decision making and improved success. Good forecasts become good plans. The strategic planning process cannot be treated like the carnival game of guessing someone’s age or weight. 

 WIQ eliminates the root causes of uncertainty in strategic planning. WIQ helps teams see around the corner by re-imagining the future into the driving forces that determine the behaviors, choices and preferences of the market. 

 WIQ effectively focuses strategic planning decision making on the influences and characteristics of the emotional and rational drivers that guide your organization’s decisions.  

WIQ eliminates sandbagging…the deliberate under-estimating of sales forecasts and related factors. WIQ ensures team input and output creates confidence and competence in the strategic planning process. WIQ eliminates the flaw of averages. WIQ moves beyond the traditional single point estimates to achieve better decisions. 

 WIQ eliminates black box forecasting. Black box models disguise the underlying rational and emotional drivers, often leading to poor decision making. Most importantly, WIQ reveals the changes in the environment that influence the actual results.  

WIQ harnesses the wisdom of the team. WIQ guides strategic planning to be a team sport capturing diverse ideas, insights and experiences and channeling the team’s individuality into a team ego, collective, ‘all-in’ outcome. 

 WIQ eliminates the social and organizational barriers that keep teams from succeeding in strategic planning by removing social pressures, impact of silos and dominant hierarchical issues. WIQ creates a culture of compatibility by creating and cultivating an open dialogue of collaboration.  

WIQ promotes solid policy. WIQ guides effective contingency planning. WIQ builds trust.  

Someone once said that strategic planning is like trying to drive down a country road at night with no lights while looking out the back window. WIQ lets you turn on the headlights, focus on the road ahead, know the limits of both the car and the driver, and, if the road is particularly challenging, get a map — or even ask others for directions.
