In this concluding piece on his strategic planning playlist, Dave discusses the importance of reviewing the progress of your strategic plan. He makes the point that the best-written plan in the world makes little difference if it sits in a folder your laptop unused. Planning is meant to inform purposeful actions, and many organisations fall into the trap of mistaking the creation of a plan with the achievement of the goals it outlines. One of the best ways to avoid this pitfall is to regularly review the plan you’ve created and what results it's informed. In an ideal world, you’d have everyone who participated in the creation of the strategic plan present to review it. Certainly, to succeed, a plan needs the buy-in of those implementing it. Dave urges us not to be afraid of the strategic planning process - anyone who grasps the underlying principles he’s outlined in this playlist can create a plan to help them move forward, either personally or professionally.
