Strategic Plans – Why? Why? Why? 

We were grateful to be joined by Letitia Thompson to discuss how to make strategic plans useful and the WHY of strategic planning. 

Check out the conversation by clicking the video above. 

We hope you enjoy the conversation. Highlights from our discussion include:

• When mapping out the strategic planning process or actively updating a plan always start with your “Why”. People tend to jump to the “How” and the “What” but forget the “Why” 
• Where to start? Letitia suggests starting with 3-4 trusted advisors and build from there. 
  • Define the problem and a vision for success before bringing others together
• Build in time for “blue sky planning”. Dream big, invite new ideas and partners to explore how to shake things up from the same tired old ideas. 
• A well done strategic plan will already have your implementation plan built in so the transition from plan to action should be seamless
