Product Description

Book Description

"Strategic planning is a critical part of running a business, but when you get a team of people together to plan, it can often become a confused exercise in grand visions without a clear process for establishing workable goals. This book is unique in providing both guidance for the actual content of strategic plans and techniques for how to plan in a team context. Readers will discover how to: * structure the process so it custom fits their company needs * effectively facilitate the process (keep meetings on track, train others in planning skills, document decisions made at meetings, present and communicate the plan) * use teams and teamwork smoothly and productively to create a far-reaching plan -- and then to implement it Features detailed guidelines for each step, dozens of flowcharts, and three self-contained "facilitator's guides" to follow."

About the Author

1.0 out of 5 stars Key messages get lost, April 8 2004
This review is from: Team-Based Strategic Planning: A Complete Guide to Structuring, Facilitating & Implementing the Process (Hardcover)
...

There is a whole industry surrounding strategic planning, and the language of this industry is laden with jargon, that is words devoid of any real meaning. Hence, "structure," "facilitate," and "implement" have become an empty mantra with no power. The tendency to ascribe power and authority to organizations rather to the people who work within business, government, and industry undermines many such approaches, and though this book acknowledges that the power is with the people, that message gets lost in the language.

Moreover, it's just not that helpful to read that "The outside world can be hostile, difficult to understand, and sometimes impossible to influence." Too often, I find the advice and observations do not seem like what those working in the trenches need.

Though many folks swear by illustrations laden with arrows, boxes, shading, ALL CAPS, and such, I'm unable to process these sorts of graphics, focusing instead on the disparate elements and wishing I could have worked hand-in-hand with the publisher, author, anyone to suggest friendlier, more understandable designs.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for all Strategic Planning, Aug 28 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Team-Based Strategic Planning: A Complete Guide to Structuring, Facilitating & Implementing the Process (Hardcover)
This book has become my bible for developing strategic plans and marketing plans. It offers a great outline for strategic plans, as well as a detailed plan on how to facilitate the information gathering process. This book, however, is appropriate for not only team-based strategic planning, but also for those working on projects alone. I have recommended this book to several of my associates.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful guide, May 17 2007
By S. Bohlman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Team-Based Strategic Planning: A Complete Guide to Structuring, Facilitating & Implementing the Process (Hardcover)
I have several years of experience in participating and leading strategic planning, and I have found this to be a very good reference guide. One that I still refer to with some frequency. It has high-level comprehensive concepts as well as detailed, practical steps. Not for everyone, especially if you are put off by "business speak", but if you live in that world and are comfortable with it, this can be a very good reference guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Team based strategic planning book is excellent., Aug 20 2005
By Jan C. Prager - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Team-Based Strategic Planning: A Complete Guide to Structuring, Facilitating & Implementing the Process (Hardcover)
This is an excellent guide that allows a leader to structure a strategic planning process to fit a specific organization. It gives step by step instructions and real examples that make the process come alive. It also gives guides for facilitating collection of information and the meetings that must be held to get concensus on the organization's direction. In 30 years of federal government management, I have not seen any book as clear and as useful in directing development of a strategic plan. This book has been on the market since 1999, so I must not be alone in this opinion.
