An Integrated Strategic Planning Model Helpcard (electronic version)

Strategic Planning can be a complex process, and as a result most companies don't receive much benefit from their planning efforts. It works best when it's guided by a comprehensive model so that no parts of the process are lost. You can use the model explained on this helpcard as a guide to make your strategic planning worthwhile. Most strategic planning fails miserably. This card, and it's companion, How To Make Strategic Planning work will help you create dynamic strategic plans that are relevant. Electronic Downloadable Version 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 first of the two part set, maps out the process and the linkages to make plans link to everyday activities. What's in it: Written by consultant and and author Robert Bacal, An Integrated Strategic Planning Model Helpcard maps out the steps in the strategic planning process. What's different about an INTEGRATED model is that it brings together strategic and tactical planning under one umbrella, so that strategic plans can be USED to make day to day decisions. Explains the inter-relationships between the various components like identifying values, establishing a mission statement, and links to human resource development, training, and goal setting. That's one of the secrets of making strategic planning documents come ALIVE, and not end up gathering dust in the backs of desk drawers. This 2 sided 8.5 x 11 inch card provides dozens of hints, tips and principles to help you get through to the boss. Here's what is on the card: - The Purpose of Integrated Strategic
- Planning - What's It For?
- Understanding The Process.
- The Components of Planning, From Defining Organizational Values, Through Sub-Unit Integration.
- Important Notes & Tips On Planning
Usage: These cards can be used to refresh oneself on the strategic planning process, so they are appropriate for all managers looking to improve their planning. They are extremely useful as handouts before or during strategic planning sessions, to save time in explaining the process. So, they are ideal for facilitators and strategic planning leaders.
