Expert Series — Strategic Planning: Seeing the Forest for the Trees

Strategic planning is a critical, but often a flawed process for many companies – especially those in high growth mode. This workshop will dissect some common pitfalls that leaders make during their strategic planning process and how to avoid them. We’ll take a kaleidoscope view of varying stakeholder perspectives on the strategic planning process and examine techniques and considerations for how to encompass those perspectives to maximize effectiveness and buy in of your strategic plan.

In this workshop, you'll learn: 

• Become aware of common pitfalls to avoid in the strategic planning process; 
• How to take a multi-stakeholder approach to strategic planning to ensure success and buy-in and;
• Communication strategies to support organizational understanding and adoption of your strategic plan.
