Preparing For Your Strategic Planning Sessions. (Steps to Follow)
When scheduling a strategic meeting for your organization, you need to consider how to properly prepare yourself and your leadership team for your strategic planning sessions.

Who will lead the strategic planning sessions?
What are the details of your strategic planning sessions? (Virtual or In-Person)
The simple answer is that it varies. Depending on your business's size, structure, and dynamics, your #StrategicPlanningSession will necessitate the creation of a checklist of tasks before hosting your strategy sessions.
In this video, we go in-depth about the steps you need to follow when preparing for your strategic planning session

PROJE
project-management-module-(strategy
When basic but critical elements of project management get overlooked, the project ultimately risks being delivered over time, over budget, over scope, or - even worse - left incomplete. This costs organizations a lot of wasted time and money.
In fact, organizations that use proven project management practices waste 28 times less money than their counterparts who do not have such practices in place.
In this module of our Strategy Implementation workshop “Project Management Best Practices,”:
- We'll teach you these proven practices and help you put a process in place to consistently apply them.
- We’ll review the Project Lifecycle and share critical skills and processes within each phase: Initiation, planning and scope creation, kicking off and beginning execution, monitoring work and progress, and project closure.
- We’ll teach your team overall best practices in project management to avoid frustrations and put your team on the right path to successfully implementing the projects outlined in your strategic plan.

CEO C
ceo-case-study-creating-your-'why'-with
Without a company 'why', #CompanyMission, or purpose, your people will not be bought into your strategic plan. Having a shared 'why' is one of the more critical pieces of your #StrategicPlanningProcess. Without it, not only will your people not be bought in, but your company will lack strategic direction and a reason to implement the strategy.
In this video, we break down a case study from a CEO we recently interviewed on our Strategy & Leadership Podcast. We share his process for developing alignment and buy-in with his team around a company 'why'. #CEOCaseStudy
