Some of my clients are getting more engaged in strategic planning: identifying strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, and focusing them to help decide where they’re headed. This exercise can be done by one person and teed up to others, but it’s often best to do as a team: that’s what your mother was hinting at when she said‘two heads are better than one’. But habits tend to keep us doing what we’ve always done – they’re less risky but won’t help when you’re trying to keep up with the competition or continually improve. When planning becomes a habit you bring people together, improve communication, foster collaboration, create alignment, and discover potential. It’s probably not for those scared of change, but can be an elixir for those who like to peer over the horizon and have hope for tomorrow. It’s the way for you and your team to start to achieve great things today.
