7 Vital Tips #1: “Simplify the Planning Process”

A. Where are we going? Establish your competitive advantage and your vision. Clearly see the direction your organization is headed.

B. Where are we now? Review your current strategic position and clarify your mission, vision, and values.

C. How will we get there? Lay out the road to connect where you are now to where you’re going. Set your strategic objectives, goals, and action items and how you’ll execute your plan.

“Your Strategic Plan may be full of detail but the collaboration and engagement in the planning must be easy to understand”

7 Vital Tips #2: “Develop the Right Questions”

“Selecting a set of questions that need answers can lead to a robust and often enlightening discussion and the

end result is a better plan.”

What is our single biggest “limiting factor” inside your organization that may prevent us from attaining our vision?

What are 5 potential ways we can make our limiting factors less limiting?

What are the sweet spots we currently have as opportunities?

What business are we trying to build?

7 Vital Tips #3: “Leverage the Power of Three”

“Often there are too many actions to monitor. Ask yourself what are the three strategic results you are looking for each quarter?”

Be realistic in approach and performance

Be relentless in the discipline of monitoring the action plan for each of the three.

7 Vital Tips #4: “Conduct Experiments”

To overcome this, allow for and develop short term projects or experiments to prove the assumptions.

Some call it “scouting missions.”

“Strategic Plans involve guesswork and hypotheses that certain actions will achieve certain outcomes.

As a result managers are often uncomfortable actually taking action or committing resources…”

7 Vital Tips #5: “Banish Fuzzy Language”

Language like this can signal that the leaders do not have a clear idea of what they

want to do or how to do it.

Ban words like: leverage, synergy and robust to name three!

“Strategic Plans are often filled with jargon and consensus statements like ‘leverage our world class operating capabilities’ or

‘reshape our pricing and trade strategy’ or ‘lets triple our business’…”

7 Vital Tips #6: “Beware of Templates”

“Strategic Planning Templates have become a standard tool. They do help but often force leaders to ‘fill in the boxes.’ The most

important part of strategic planning is collaboration and engagement not the template.”

7 Vital Tips #7: “Brainstorm When Stuck”

“If you are not sure how to complete a step in the process or do not know what goals to shoot for or even what action to take

– stop and Brainstorm.”
