What we do:
Strategic planning typically sucks. Executives typically hate to do it and they say it feels like drudgery. On top of that, it’s been well documented that plans fail at least 70% of the time. And even worse, it takes 18-24 months to even know if a plan is working.
We’re changing all that.
We believe planning should be an energizing experience and bring a sense of inspiration and motivation. With Systematic by Rocket FactoryTM, we’ve got a set of tools that help mid-market companies quickly identify plan risk, ideate at all levels of an organization to create buy-in, and develop plans that stick.
