Making Strategic Planning Work Help Card Most strategic planning fails miserably. This card, and it's companion, An Integrated Model For Strategic Planning will help you create dynamic strategic plans that are relevant. Available in E-version instant delivery version and in traditional book format sent in regular post

The Point: In leading strategic planning sessions, I noticed two problems: First, it was difficult to actually explain strategic planning in everyday language, and help people see how it can be used in real life to make a real difference in what people do every day. The second problem was that people tended to forget that just doing a plan is worthless without serious followup after the fact. So I created two quick-read helpcards on the subject to deal with these issues. This card, the second of the two part set, explains what managers, leaders and staff must do to make strategic plans come alive.

What's In It: Written by consultant and and author Robert Bacal, Making Strategic Planning Work offers a number of suggestions to help you ensure your strategic plan becomes a dynamic document that can be used to make everyday decisions. If strategic planning is to be useful, it must result in an understanding of how strategic direction links to the everday decisions made by EVERYONE in the organization. This card teaches you the essentials of doing this.

In addition to these essential tactics, this card contains a complete diagram of the entire strategic + tactical planning process, so you can ensure that your planning process is complete.

Price: $12.95 OR LESS depending on electronic or printed version. You can licence for multiple copies at 75% savings.

This card is part of a two card set. The other is called An Integrated Strategic Planning Model Helpcard. For full benefits, we suggest that you purchase both cards. For a description of An Integrated Strategic Planning Model Helpcard, CLICK HERE.
