infographic: strategic planning: why to use it. how to make it work
DESCRIPTION
Here's what you need to know about achieving greater success using a tested, efficient strategic planning process that focuses on actionable strategies and implementation. Our vision that every organization has a strategic plan and is acting on it. Our quest is to remedy what we see as a major deficit in many organizations: The lack of strategic thinking, strategic planning and plan implementation. The research we have accessed and added to shows that organizations that plan and implement their plan enjoy significantly greater success than organizations that don't plan and implement. Organizations that plan are twice as likely not to fail. Yet our recent research among strategic leaders confirms what McKinsey's earlier research showed: Three-quarters of organizations don't use strategic planning to make strategic decisions, and 70% of those organizations that do plan don't implement their plan. Rather than throwing up our hands and saying, "What's not to get?", we have been working to make the rationale for planning and implementing the plan, using an effective and efficient process, obvious. This strategic planning infographic is one of our contributions to promote the use of smart strategic planning for greater success.TRANSCRIPT
