This PPT slide, part of the 66-slide Plan for Performance Methodology PowerPoint presentation, contrasts 2 approaches to strategic planning: Incremental Planning and Dynamic Strategic Planning. On the left, the Incremental Planning Process is depicted, focusing on short-term goals. The graph illustrates a linear trajectory where actions are taken in response to immediate circumstances. This reactive approach limits vision and can lead to stagnation, as indicated by the label "Incrementalism" at the bottom. The key question posed is, "Where can we be next year?" This suggests a narrow focus on immediate outcomes rather than long-term growth.
On the right, the Dynamic Strategic Planning Process emphasizes a broader vision. It encourages organizations to look 5 years ahead, fostering a proactive mindset. The graph shows a more complex trajectory, illustrating that actions are driven by a strategic vision rather than mere reactions to current conditions. The term "Focus" is highlighted, suggesting that this approach is crucial for growth. The slide implies that companies adopting dynamic planning are more likely to thrive, as they align their actions with a long-term vision.
The overarching message is clear: organizations must shift from a reactive, incremental mindset to a proactive, strategic one. This transition is essential for sustainable growth and success. By adopting dynamic strategic planning, companies can better navigate uncertainties and capitalize on opportunities that arise over time. The slide effectively communicates the importance of strategic foresight in achieving organizational goals.
This slide is part of the Plan for Performance Methodology PowerPoint presentation.
