    About this ebook

    A strategic plan becomes your team’s roadmap for the next one to three years. It clearly articulates what is important to your organization and why. Without a strategic plan, teams, departments, and organizations can float rudderless with no clear direction. Conversely, an organization with a well-communicated strategic plan can focus the efforts of leaders, managers, and employees towards the achievement of specific business objectives. More often than not, those objectives will be reached.

    This ebook will provide you, the manager or leader, with relevant, up to date, and practical information on the key components of strategic planning in way that is easy to understand and apply.
