Formulating & Monitoring a Strategic Plan
In the process of helping organizations with Strategic Planning, it is common to ask if they are familiar with the organization’s strategy and whether they have an idea of where they see the organization in 5 years. After these conversations, it is not uncommon to get as many different responses as people in the group. It is imperative for an organization to have a clear direction, which can not be effectively achieved without having a strategic plan in place. If you don’t know where you are going, every road will get you nowhere. (Henry Kissinger)
