Operational Timelines and Strategic Planning

C2C Phase: Facility Management

Opening or optimizing a sports, recreation, event or wellness venue is a multi-faceted process. With SFC Strategic Planning and Operational Timeline services, you receive a custom plan and strategy to achieve the results you want. Let us illuminate all the steps and stages of building or refining your business and provide you with a proven plan and strategy. 

Our operational timeline provides a comprehensive set of tasks and strategies that are ordered sequentially with date-driven objectives and check points. With the goal of taking a project from groundbreaking to grand opening or managing change through the optimization process, this detailed system was created to develop an operationally efficient facility, form a well-trained staff, build a robust marketing database, and establish a full book of events and programming. Each component of the operational timeline includes a series of tasks with corresponding timeframes for completion, deadlines, and task dependencies.

While operational timelines are customized to the details of each project, many encompass the following components:

  • Strategic Planning, including financial forecasting and budget development
  • Construction, including FF&E and OS&E procurement
  • Staff Development
  • Business Development
  • Operational Systems Set-up
