How Acumen helped two business units strengthen its strategic planning discipline to drive growth and operational excellence under new leadership.

The challenge

Under new leadership and a critical pivot in operations, a major real estate corporation needed to rapidly build strategic planning capabilities across its key business units. Leadership teams had to strengthen their ability to translate bold revenue ambitions into actionable plans—aligning priorities, improving collaboration, and ensuring strategic focus amid a shifting market.

What we did

Acumen designed and facilitated an intensive multi-day Strategic Planning Workshop for the business units leadership teams. The program focused on building both strategic clarity and execution discipline, covering:

  1. Defining multi-year ambitions and measurable growth goals
  2. Identifying market opportunities and structural challenges critical to the pivot
  3. Developing prioritized strategic imperatives and aligned action plans
  4. Embedding OGSM methodology to strengthen alignment, focus, and accountability

The impact

The organization's leadership teams now operate with a shared strategic direction, stronger planning capabilities, and a clear line of sight from ambition to action. Business units have translated their growth goals into focused, executable plans—driving greater alignment, sharper decision-making, and momentum toward the company’s long-term transformation agenda.
