Here’s what they get wrong:
❌ Taking months to finish the process
❌ Distracting their already busy team with endless ‘planning days’
❌ Drowning in analysis before even starting the plan
❌ Spending a fortune on strategy consultants
The truth:
✔️ You can create a solid strategic plan in just a few weeks
✔️ One focused workshop with your team is all it takes
✔️ A few quick, targeted analyses will give you everything you need
✔️ Strategic planning is easy to DIY – no consultants or special skills required
A good plan executed now, is better than a perfect plan executed later.
So, adopt the 80/20 rule in your planning to capture most of the benefit in only a fraction of the time and effort.
Just get it done. You can always change your plans later if you’ve missed something important.
