SME Strategy Consulting INC

SME Strategy Consulting is a management consulting firm that facilitates strategic planning for leadership teams and boards, then supports follow-through on implementation. Founded in 2011 by Anthony C. Taylor, it offers in-person and virtual sessions across the continental United States and Canada, and works with non-profit and for-profit organizations in over 30 industries.

The firm's process starts with at least three weeks of pre-work including interviews, a group survey and document review. The planning session itself runs two to three days in person or around five weeks online, and a written recap follows within ten business days. Implementation support then continues for twelve months or more, and the site says most organizations complete the full process in about three months. Its people-first style aims to understand a client's culture and teach accessible frameworks that build in-house planning skills, starting from alignment on a shared vision it calls One Destination.
