Strategic Plan Examples
A Glimpse Into the Barzel Strategic Planning Process
Ever wondered what a Barzel Group strategic plan actually looks like?
These examples offer a glimpse into the process we use to help organizations gain clarity and direction through the StratOp framework, developed by the Paterson Center.
Because StratOp is a licensed process, we can’t share full plans, but we can show you what the journey looks like. Each image below represents a real section from a Barzel-facilitated plan, with example data given. Together, these elements form what we call the Plan on a Page: a living, breathing tool that aligns your team around purpose, priorities, and action.
If what you see sparks curiosity, imagine what it feels like to create one for your own organization.
What a Strategic Plan Might Look Like
Below are example sections from a sample Barzel-facilitated strategic plan. Each image gives you a small window into how the StratOp framework brings order, focus, and momentum to an organization’s vision.
Core Assumptions
Every plan starts with a shared understanding of reality. We identify the strategic, operational, and financial truths that define where you are today, because clarity always comes before strategy.`
Every great plan starts with honesty. These are the realities—strategic, operational, and financial—that define where you’re starting from.
Vision Frame
This is where your big picture takes shape. We outline where you stand, where you’re headed, and how you’ll get there so your team moves forward with a shared destination in mind.
Where you stand, where you’re headed, and how you’ll get there, all in one view. The vision frame makes clarity visible.
Big Idea Strategies

W.I.N. Wheel
This is where vision meets traction. The W.I.N. Wheel highlights your top priorities—What’s Important Now. It organizes your biggest issues into clear, actionable focus areas.
W.I.N. stands for “What’s Important Now.” This tool focuses your energy on the few initiatives that drive the most progress.
What You’re Seeing

When we facilitate this process with you, these sections come together into your own customized Plan on a Page. It’s not a one-time document; it’s a tool for continuous alignment and decision-making.
Why We Don’t Share Full Plans
Because the StratOp process is licensed through the Paterson Center, we can’t publish or distribute full client plans. The visuals above are designed to show you what the framework might look like for your organization and why so many leaders trust it to guide their most important decisions.
