Best Practices Report: Reinventing Strategic Planning
As a leader of planning and change, you are a craftsman of your organization. Your tools are thoughts, plans, people, and strategy. Systems Thinking is a method of thinking backwards to the future. It allows you to craft your vision, mission, and values to- day so you can develop and sustain a customer-focused high performance organization. Like the craftsman, you design your organization and utilize tools to create it, such as soliciting feedback, utilizing measurements, developing business plans, and setting priorities. One of the most effective tools you should have in your toolbox is a yearly Strategic Management System and Process.
