Strategic Planning: Eight Steps to Implementation (PowerPoint PPTX Slide Deck)

In a constantly evolving world, organizations need strategic planning to adapt and stay ahead of the competition. However, despite being a basic business practice, many organizations struggle to make it work, resulting in disappointing outcomes. Our research and experience show that most strategic planning processes are poorly executed and rarely impact day-to-day decisions. To be successful, a strategic planning process should provide a framework against which all decisions can be evaluated.
