A workable strategic plan is a facilitator for organization progress.
Many executives have just completed the strategic-planning exercise for the coming year, so it's a good time to ask a question: how well does your strategy line up with the best interests of the company and its stakeholders?
The approach used for getting from issues to strategies for implementation makes the difference in the results strategic planning will generate. Cognitive biases and silence often obstruct or skew strategic planning
Executives can overcome the obstacles to results by promoting a culture that encourages open debate, the exchange of information and ways forward.
