Are you confident that your organization is strategically aligned? The truth might surprise you! The old top-down approach to strategic planning design is a “broken model.” It is time to shift to the “participation age.”
There are many “Executive traps” when using the old model.
Examples of having a narrow view of the strategy process:
- We are not going to create a strategy by popular vote.
- Internal or external people might think that I do not know what I’m doing.
- How would we process all that information?
Strategy is about discovery. A participative strategy does not remove the power of selection from decision makers.
Strategic alignment is ONE of the critical elements to unlocking exceptional results, while improving your culture and ensuring your company remains ahead in the fast-paced business landscape.
You will never go back to the old ways. The new participative approach gives you confidence that you are delivering as an executive team.
Strategic planning is not an easy exercise. This is why it is so important to assemble the right team and create a collaborative atmosphere that includes internal and external ideas that can provide different business perspectives.
