| P4.5.2 Effective Strategic Planning: Two Day Training Programme: 3 and 4 June 2003 |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
| 90% of all strategic planning and business improvement initiatives fail to deliver any benefit whatsoever. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| Total failure is the number one deliverable for most strategic planning processes! |
|
|
| |
|
|
| WHY? |
|
|
| |
|
|
| Over the last decade i have undertaken considerable research into the factors giving rise to business strategic planning failure and catalogued numerous factors that give rise to failure. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| Need for Comprehensive and Systematic Analysis |
|
|
| One of the most significant factors is the failure to undertake comprehensive and systematic analysis of the strategic environment and business condition. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| Another is the failure to develop comprehensive, thorough, strategic plans down to the individual activity and task level that are clearly measurable and actionable. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| JAR&A Approach |
|
|
| The JAR&A approach to effective strategic planning is discussed in some detail on our web site in terms of the STRATSNAP© Strategic SnapShot process and the STRATPROC© Strategic Planning Process. |

|
| |
|
|
