Both executive management in large enterprises and lifestyle business owners are often too focused on short-term operational issues to notice both long-term and short-term strategic and financial issues that may be affecting their businesses, such as competitive threats, dissatisfied customers, underperforming products and/or services, or out-of-control costs and expenses.

The consequences could be disastrous in terms of loss of market share, customers, profits, and other factors if not dealt with promptly, but may be unanticipated.

A Hi-Spot Review is a "mini-strategic planning" project, initiated on an unplanned basis, to determine a response to unanticipated events, ideas, or activities that impact strategy. The name means "high-level and focused" - derived from the phrase "high level strategic plan for opportunities and threats." The review is intended to be both diagnostic and prescriptive. The review consists of a quick situation assessment and a project definition that sets direction. The result determines the solution to a specific opportunity or threat that can be enacted immediately through one or more implementation projects.
