The Strategic Planning Workbook is a practical, eclectic, pragmatic guide to creating a strategic plan. It defines strategic planning as gaining insights about where a company is now, gathering the information that identifies where_that company_should be in the future and generating the decisions that will bridge that gap._ This book provides the concepts needed to do the thinking, the tools to gather the necessary information, the techniques to make a decision and the frameworks to translate conclusions into action plans. Exercises, data gathering, analysis, two workshops and an implementation plan are all provided to create a map to the best future possible. This fully revised third edition includes three new chapters, covering: how to analyze organizational circumstances and match a strategy to them; how to build in measures to track business and strategic success; and how to revise an existing plan, whether_to take corrective action or to build upon its positive results. -- PROVIDED BY THE PUBLISHER
