Is Strategic Planning Worth It?
Strategic planning, when done well and effectively implemented, creates more profitable, efficient, and sustainable businesses that are prepared to take advantage of new opportunities and ready to respond to trends and threats that might affect them.
Unfortunately, all too often, Strategic Planning results in a room filled with completed flip chart pages or a pretty PowerPoint presentation instead of focused, directed actions that bring the strategic plan to life in sustained, helpful ways.
Join host Daniel Stewart and special guest Nolan Godfrey, as they discuss the pitfalls and benefits of strategic planning, especially how to do it amid uncertainty and to increase buy-in for implementation. Drawing from their experience conducting Strategic Planning with hundreds of executives, Daniel and Nolan will share their insights on how to design and implement an effective strategic plan, so it isn’t a wasted activity. They’ll also discuss:
- How to plan in periods of uncertainty
- How to elicit the right input and involvement
- How to ensure buy-in across the organization
- How to align the Strategic Plan with goals and actions at each level in the organization
- How to ensure accountability to the strategic plan
- The pros and cons of hiring an external strategic planning facilitator
- What to look for in an outside facilitator
