Why #3 of strategic planning

This HBR article When CEOs Talk Strategy, Is Anyone Listening? (hbr.org) found that only 29% of employees at high-performing corporations understood their strategy. For the Nigerian market, you can assume that a small fraction of organisations have a clearly articulated strategy and a much smaller fraction of employees are clued into it. This brings us to why #3 of strategic planning: it provides a unifying direction for employees across the entire organisation.

Strategic planning provides an opportunity to align senior leadership, managers, and staff on their reason for being, vision, key strategic choices, and priorities. This in turn boosts employee motivation, improves the quality of decision-making, and results in better outcomes for the organisation.

We can help you develop your winning strategic plan and build alignment across your entire organisation through the process.
