Team-based Strategic Planning: A Complete Guide To Structuring, Facilitating And Implementing The Process

A practical and dynamic resource on team-based strategic planning, this toolkit-in-a-book shows how to bend, shape and modify the conventional strategic planning process to meet an organization’s goals. It also delineates the techniques and methods needed to succeed. The real-world examples provided illustrate each step of the process. The book is designed for active use at every stage of the process. It helps readers through dozens of hands-on tools including:

A proven strategic change process model that forecasts expected changes and results over a five-year period

Cue cards and flow charts that plot the process and make it easier to master

Self-contained facilitator guides for setting priorities, guiding the team to consensus, and using twelve classic techniques to help the team reach its objectives

Troubleshooting advice on problem intervention for CEOs, planning leaders, and facilitators.

“In too many companies strategic planning is a once-a-year paper exercise. In this book C. Davis Fogg has provided an outstanding, practical guide for key executives who want to make strategic planning an active tool for improving teamwork and firm performance. There is nothing theoretical about this book. The reader is provided a detailed map for managing the strategic planning process from beginning to end.”
