Synopsis

The Strategic Planning Workbook is a practical guide that any manager can pick up and immediately use to implement a strategic plan. Now in its second edition, it has been fully updated and includes new material on crafting mission, vision and value. 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.

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)
