When do you start thinking about your organization’s strategic planning process? Have you started thinking about it yet for next year?
In the corporate world, I used to start planning for planning in April.
Seriously, we started in April, laying out how we’d approach everything so that by the time we engaged the rest of the organization in mid-summer we had everything ready to go.
Spending that much time planning was a luxury when the strategic planning process suddenly became important to our company. That’s one way of saying, don’t freak out if you have responsibility for directing strategic planning and haven’t started thinking about it yet.
