Strategic Planning in an Opportunity for Involvement
SP is a great opportunity for the organization to live the strategy, using such exercises of what strategy means to everybody, and then write all the thoughts on the white board, trying to consolidate them in groups: planning, implementation, monitoring and controlling, development, refining…
At the end of the day a strategic statement will be produced by the team where everybody owns the passion to achieve what was produced.
This also could be used as milestones for the strategic plan, while the breakdown of these milestones could be used as baseline for the plan where everybody should be committed.
