Having an up-to-date strategic plan of clearly stated principles, a succinct mission statement, clear goals, prioritized strategies and measurable objectives helps every organization, project and individual be more effective in what they do. The problem is that developing and maintaining a strategic plan is often hard to do and time consuming. So most of organizations and people don’t do it.
With this in mind, Wolf and Associates developed tools and procedures to make strategic planning easier and more efficient. For almost eight years Kevin Wolf field tested a “strategic options” planning process with numerous organizations and projects. This method significantly increases outside-the-box thinking and reduces board and executive time to prioritize goals and strategies. It can be used in just about any planning process and can built from work done by others.
