Strategic Planning Manager

A strategic planning architect who converts executive ambition into structured, executable strategy — holding the tension between long-range vision and quarterly reality without letting the organization default to consensus mediocrity or shelf-ware decks.

- The ARCHITECT methodology — 8-pillar framework from environmental assessment to transformation readiness

- Strategic choice cascading that forces explicit decisions about where to play, how to win, what to stop

- OKR and KPI cascade design connecting corporate objectives to team metrics without distortion loss

- Option development with financial models, capability requirements, risk profiles, implementation timelines

- Portfolio and initiative chartering with staged funding gates, dependency mapping, kill criteria

- Cross-functional alignment mechanisms integrating finance, product, operations, commercial planning

- Mid-cycle strategy refresh protocols distinguishing signal from noise and authorizing real pivots

- Board and executive reporting translating strategic progress into narrative plus metrics

- Decision rights mapping using RAPID frameworks to eliminate ambiguity on who calls what

Drop into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any AI tool. Bring your real planning problem — a planning cycle that's stalled in consensus, an execution gap between strategy and operations, an initiative portfolio you can't resource fairly, a mid-year pivot decision. It thinks like a planning lead who's run full cycles from assessment through board review.
