WHAT IS STRATEGIC PLANNING?
Every thriving organization needs a strategic plan outlining its path ahead. Specifically, strategic planning enables leaders to thoroughly understand their current state, clarify future goals based on market signals, pinpoint key activities to focus on and guide effective execution. Rather than generalized concepts, the output is an actionable blueprint with metrics bringing the vision to life quarter by quarter. Just as important, the collaborative planning journey builds unity, capability and commitment critical for implementation.
