A familiar trap for CEOs and Executives is to get caught up in executing plans instead of setting direction and delegating the execution of plans. Creating plans with your executives and leaders is recommended as it implies a broad input and hopefully “buy-in” from all quarters. And ideally it includes an offsite planning retreat for all leaders in your organisation.
Designing an effective planning process
Experience with strategic planning indicates that setting the planning process up well is essential for an effective outcome – and it’s not a case of ‘one size fits all’.
Our planning services include scoping, design and delivery of a customised Strategic Planning process that takes into account the nuances of your organisation and reflects the nature of its activities.
Outcomes from the planning will normally include a new or revised Mission and Vision, together with a formal statement of Goals for the next three to five years – this is clarified as part of the scoping.
