Viac o knihe

How to structure, facilitate, and implement the process. Strategic planning is a critical part of running a business, but when you get a team of people together to plan, it can often become a confused exercise in grand visions without a clear process for establishing workable goals. This book is unique in providing both guidance for the actual content of strategic plans and techniques for how to plan in a team context. Readers will discover how • structure the process so it custom fits their company needs • effectively facilitate the process (keep meetings on track, train others in planning skills, document decisions made at meetings, present and communicate the plan) • use teams and teamwork smoothly and productively to create a far-reaching plan—and then to implement it Features detailed guidelines for each step, dozens of flowcharts, and three self-contained "facilitator’s guides" to follow.
