SME Strategy Consulting

Working with Anthony Taylor from SME Strategy was exactly what our organization needed to create a clear and actionable strategic plan. He guided us through every critical step, including celebrating past successes, conducting SWOT and PESTEL analyses, and defining our mission, vision, and values with clarity and alignment. With his support, we established focused priorities, set SMART goals, and built out initiatives we can actually execute. Anthony made the process engaging and structured, helping our team connect the big picture to practical actions. If you’re looking for a strategic planning partner who brings insight, structure, and real results, I highly recommend Anthony and SME Strategy. "

We contracted with SME to work with our organization, supporting and facilitating our strategic planning, in spring 2022. We were so fortunate to work with Jenna Sedmak, who so capably, professionaly and competently lead the pre-strategic planning surveys and interviews, which set the stage for our online strategy planning sessions. The SME process, with Jenna's leadership, kept us focused and on task. Strategic planning can be a challenging process, one where ideas (and perosnalities) and plans can wander, but Jenna so skillfully and patiently guided everyone back to the task at hand and ensured organizational alignment. SME's ongoing support and check-ins are most certainly a value add and help to reassure staff and the board. She, and SME, are thorough and detail oriented, which is so very necessary and appreciated, which in turn ensure a very good result for our organization. "

We were so lucky as a board to have Anthony and the SME team support us through an overdue strategic creation process for a not-for-profit Society based in Vancouver, B.C.We were able to create a new strategy over two days of working sessions. This was possible given how well-prepped we were to jump right into the work. We now have a new mission and vision to work towards with a blueprint to get us there.Looking forward to working with him again in the future. 

We highly recommend him and the SME team.- On behalf of the Red Door Housing Society Board of Directors "

Anthony was so incredibly helpful in helping our team get ready for the session and was so patient and understanding in the lead up to our session.For our day session Anthony was able to help our team focus and get down to the bottom of the task at hand.He is very direct and genuine but also understanding and was able to help us establish what needs of our company needs are and was able to help us focus on where our company is headed.Our team came away more focused and less overwhelmed thanks to Anthony's facilitation.His services also provide support after the facilitation which is incredibly helpful and we recommend Anthony for any of your companies strategic needs. "

I had simply requested a document from SME Strategy Consulting and within moments was contacted by Anthony, who was incredibly personable and generous with his time and information. Even though I wasn't a paying customer, he took the time to ask about my situation and offer excellent ideas on how I might proceed. I was very impressed by his commitment to customer service and no pressure approach. Even though my needs are great enough to warrant hiring a consultant, I would definitely keep him in mind should I need to! "
