"Shepherd Advisors is unlike any consultant I've ever worked with. From the outset, they take the time and effort to understand the nuances of our business, without bias or judgement. They are extremely transparent and straightforward and will surface what they don't know as much as anything else. I truly enjoyed working with Shephard and would recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone who is serious about improving their approach to strategy for their business."
CEO, Native Seed
"I think offering this initial planning, like we had done, is awesome. Especially if you have organizations that are excited but on the fence about strategic planning, this was a great way to invigorate everyone on our
team for the fuller commitment of time and money."
CEO, Midwest Geothermal

Your Right Strategy starts with a clear view of what’s true today.
GAMEPlan
Build the strategy your team understands, believes in, and will execute.
The Right Strategy is clear, focused, aligned, and executable. Just as important, it’s owned by the people responsible for making it real.
GAMEPlan is Shepherd’s core strategic planning engagement. Our six-step process works methodically and efficiently with you and your leadership team to navigate the critical decisions required to define the right growth strategy for your business.
Through GAMEPlan, leadership teams:
-
Envision what success truly looks like
-
Decide where to focus and how they will win
-
Align as a team around clear priorities
-
Identify and commit to the actions required to execute
GAMEPlan doesn't provide prepackaged answers or static plans. It’s a disciplined decision-making process that results in a strategy your team understands, owns, and is ready to put into action.

"Shepherd Advisors has an approach to strategy development that produced the outcomes and results our team was seeking. They inspired and guided our team to be a better version of ourselves. They are a joy to work with."
CEO, Menlo Innovations
"We all needed to be on the same page. This was particularly important as we started to talk with outside investors unfamiliar with our team and our business. It was incredible to see the whole team come together.
The excitement as we worked through hard questions and processes was, frankly, awesome."
CEO, Midwest Geothermal
GAMEPlay
Convert strategy into sustained growth momentum.
Once strategy meets reality, we can’t afford for it to stall. GAMEPlay keeps your team focused on turning strategy into action, learning and improving as you go, and maintaining forward progress.
Get out of the gates strong. Implement strategy quickly and clearly once everyone understands the direction, their role, and why it matters. Put the right people in the right roles, focus on key milestones, and ensure teams have the resources they need to succeed.
Stay on track, learn, and refine. Use regular check-ins to maintain focus, track progress, and adapt to changing markets and conditions. Revisit the strategy at 6 months, recalibrate, and recommit annually (or as needed).
Continuously improve performance. Leverage the power of strategy to level up your team, strengthen culture, improve structures and systems, guide smarter investment, and drive sustained improvement across the business.
