Strategic Planning and Execution

About This Module

Plans die in the gap between the offsite and the Monday standup. This module is that gap: how goals cascade, how money and people get lined up, and how you notice you are off course while you can still steer. Four chapters: the planning process, cascading goals, resource alignment, and monitoring plus adaptation. If your strategy cannot survive contact with a sick leave and a late supplier, it was a brochure. You will write fewer objectives and mean them.
