Session #706: Step Out of the Ivory Tower: The Right Way to Develop a Strategic Plan

2014 Annual Conference

Workplace Application: Learn how to develop a performance-focused strategic plan that aligns employees performance outcomes with organizational objectives.

Too often, organizations take the ivory tower approach to strategy: a group of talented and well-intentioned individuals closet themselves in a working session and emerge like prophets with the awaited strategy scrolls. Leaders, managers, and employees are left to try to understand how this new strategy links to day-to-day performance and their personal outcomes. In the end, the only truly predictable outcome is a frustrated workforce. A company will only be successful if all employees of the organization are able to produce outcomes that are aligned with the goals and objectives of the strategic plan. This workshop will show you how.
