About this event
As businesses begin to think about their year end, leaders should consider creating a strategic plan. Many leaders find it difficult to prioritize strategic planning in the face of urgent operational challenges that compete for attention. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has emphasized the need to be agile and prepared, and the long-term growth and sustainability of any team, group or organization depends on having alignment to a compelling vision and well formulated plans to achieve it.
Without a clear and detailed strategic plan you are at risk of diluted and unproductive efforts while likely experiencing the confusion, frustration and fatigue that come from lack of clarity and accountability.
