A significant number of businesses face challenges when identifying the right strategies for growth and sustainability. Alarmingly, according to a report by Microstrategy, 77% of companies confess that they lack long-term strategies for operations and staff development. Without a solid plan, businesses risk diminished profitability, missed opportunities, and stunted long-term success. The critical role of finding the right strategic counsel becomes apparent when considering strategic planning’s impact on business performance.
