Strategic meetings provide the opportunity for talented leaders to generate new strategic focus and opportunities, to learn from the past and support organisational transformation.
Strategic meetings include board meetings, management meetings, project meetings or any meeting where a large return can be realised from engaging in an effective strategic planning process.
But so much strategy is all talk and no action.
Many strategic processes create very scientific and quite dry plans. Most organisations understand that it isn’t necessarily a strategic weakness, but rather, the implementation process which lets them down. Other common problems which a strategic meeting should solve:
- Lack of clear strategy implementation steps in existing plans
- Too many priorities and projects dissipating focus
- Overly detailed strategic review meetings, creating a reactive, rather than proactive attitudes and behaviours
- Circular and repetitive discussions due to undefined decision-making processes
- A lack of engagement and motivation to take action and produce results
Turning Strategy into Action
You may have a strategic 'vision' but is your framework simple enough to understand and apply? Are your Purposes or Ends actually achievable, and how will you measure them through regular review? Are there clear boundaries between your strategic and operational goals, and how you will report and fulfil on each?
An effective planning process is not a one-off pie-in-the-sky brainstorming session, but a process which creates observable improvements in your organisational results in the 6-12 month timeframe.
