INTRODUCTION

In this time of economic uncertainly, there are many opportunities that are available to those organizations that think and plan strategically. The days of completing a 3-5 year strategic plan are quickly diminishing as organizations now see the need to include the last cyclical change into their trend analysis. The Strategy Expert™ is advising clients to plan to the year 2020 to help organizations think innovatively and long-term, through the cyclical ups and downs of the economies.

In addition to the need for longer-term analysis and planning, the process of the executive committee heading off for an annual three-day golf/strategy retreat appears to be over as well.

Great companies are revisiting their strategic plan monthly; good companies, quarterly and companies who are likely to be surpassed by the competition, on a yearly basis.

The initial purpose of this blog is to help integrate the methodology and process of strategic planning with the day’s events.
