It continues to provide the concepts needed to perform the thinking, the tools to gather the necessary information, the techniques to make a decision and the frameworks to translate conclusions into action plans. Refreshingly free of all the usual grand business models peddled by consultants and academics, this workbook will not intimidate those who shrink in horror at the mention of strategic planning! In a clear and accessible style Neville Lake draws on a mixture of his own diagnostic tools, analytical techniques and decision-making processes, guiding the reader through the four key stages involved in startegic planning: Strategic thinking (insight) Collecting the right data (information) Making the right decisions (imperatives) Making the difference (implementation)
