Strategy & Organization Development

The SBTDC has carefully researched, developed, and applied products and services to fit the increasingly complex needs of today's small- to medium-sized companies. Our work with thousands of owners/managers over the years has led to the creation of a set of specialized tools to help companies focus and accelerate the achievement of their goals. 

Our strategy and organizational development services help: 

  • identify strengths, weaknesses in a company’s managerial and operational performance;
  • management/leadership teams develop ideas and form a consensus around short-term or long-term plans/actions; and
  • enhance leadership skills and effectiveness.

To help you answer these questions, the SBTDC has carefully researched and developed educational products to fit the increasingly complex needs of today's small to medium-sized companies.

Our educational programs focus on change management, strategic positioning, and leadership development. Among these are:
