Strategic Planning has changed over the past 20 years. Today, good plans
are the result of strategic thinking - thinking which is reviewed and renewed
on a regular basis. With the rapid pace of change and the dramatic increase in the
availability of knowledge, organizations must be proactive in adapting to the ever
changing environment in which they exist.
We have learned valuable lessons about the need for employees to share the
vision of the organization and that they must have active involvement in the
organization in order to truly have ownership in it. In addition, we have
learned that other stakeholders need a voice in accomplishing the organization's vision.
With appropriate avenues for input and feedback, the organization has greater opportunity to excel.
