Strategic Planning: Roadmapping Your Future [INTERMEDIATE]

By : Malu Dy Buncio

Strategic Planning is an essential tool in managing a growing business. It forces a fast moving organization to ‘stand still’ and take stock of the current environment and solidly face the future. At its best, Strategic Planning focuses and unifies an organization. It clarifies management thinking, creates employee understanding, employee buy in and motivation. At its worst, Strategic Planning becomes an annual exercise that employees come to dread and it becomes a useless document that is merely dusted off on an annual basis for formalities sake. Learn from a seasoned business leader (former head of a P11 billion company) how to use the Strategic Planning Process to clarify management thinking, focus the organization as well as motivate and inspire employees
