STRATEGIC PLANNING CHECKLIST
A strategic planning meeting should be held on an annual basis, if not more frequent. The meeting should include all executive managers as well as any key supervisors with front-line knowledge and experience. A copy of the business plan should be present at the meeting so it can be referred to when needed. Keep in mind the intent of the meeting, which is to evaluate past projects and goals and to develop new strategies based on opportunities discovered through your market research and analysis.

6. Don't let the meeting digress into endless criticism. Point out areas that merit praise, and when discussing areas of weakness, explain how suggestions may not fit into the overall scope of the company's strategy.
7. Don't try to prioritize items brought up in the meeting during the session. The strategic planning meeting is mainly a brainstorming session where ideas are explored in relation to their strategic impact on the business.
8. Make sure you cover each topic thoroughly before progressing to the next. Keep in mind that you are exploring strategic solutions. When discussing each subject, apply timetables for specific actions after the meeting has been adjourned.
9 Make a summary of the meeting and circulate to everyone that is part of the strategic planning team. Then, make sure you have follow-up meeting to review the progress of |
