Much is written about strategic planning, but the reality is this: even the most talented organizations can struggle to create a plan that is clear, innovative, and challenging, yet also realistic.
Sometimes despite your organization’s best efforts, ideas and plans often get diluted, de-risked or politicized.
Often, to have the capability and objectivity to stop doing what you have always done, it takes a detached, independent and unbiased viewpoint to challenge the current thinking, culture and momentum.
That is where The DataMind comes in.
Are we doing the right things?
Are we creating value?
These are central questions to be answered in effective strategic planning.
Key considerations to be considered in planning:
- Where are we?
- Where do we want to go?
- Who do we get there?
- When do we arrive?
- Who is responsible?
- What are the rewards?
