How to conduct strategic planning

MANILA, Philippines — Many companies go through strategic planning sessions without a clue or a clear idea how it should be conducted, resulting in wasted time, effort, resources and poor planning output. Strategic planning is the process that enables a company to define its strategies and allows it to articulate the courses of action it will take to effectively and efficiently pursue its vision.

The best plans happen when you have a systematic planning process that is done the right way. To help you on this, the Center for Global Best Practices invites you to attend an online training entitled, “Best Practices on How to Conduct Strategic Planning and Prepare Effective Action Plans” to be held on Wednesday and Thursday, July 7 and 8 via Zoom.

The two-session webinar will provide participants useful templates, real examples and a practice-oriented workshop for formulating a winning strategic action plan. It is applicable to all kinds of organizations and highly recommended for business owners, members of the board, the management and its planning committees who want to improve the quality of their strategic planning activities and meetings. No long-winding, unproductive, haphazard meetings and wasted time, effort and resources when you know the best practices on how to conduct strategic planning effectively.
