I still feel strongly that strategic planning is indeed a flawed concept, but I'll explain in detail in my next post. I believe your vision on planning supports the points I make.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16804013383607061594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503511839746587202.post-87995950558031190582011-02-27T11:25:27.308-08:002011-02-27T11:25:27.308-08:00The problem with strategic planning is not that it...The problem with strategic planning is not that it's a flawed concept, but a failed approach. It is a way of thinking about value creation that assumes the association knows everything it needs to know to create, deliver and capture value for its stakeholders. When the organization realizes that in a time of great turbulence and uncertainty it will never be omniscient, planning fails.<br /><br />Strategy as planning needs to give way to strategy as learning, in which associations co-create value with their stakeholders through a continuous cycle of building empathic insight, focused experimentation and the rapid application of real-world learning.<br /><br />Considering how long associations have been doing strategic planning and the enormous failure those plans have been at the task of preparing organizations in our community for the future, associations are long overdue to abandon the tools of the past and embrace new ways of thinking about the future.Jeff De Cagna/@pinnovationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09452298237975956009noreply@blogger.com
