This book is about getting from Point A to Point B more effectively and efficiently and having more fun along the way. Part of that journey is the strategy and part of it is the planning, development, and execution.

Each part contains relevant content, real-world examples, and useful worksheets. Discover how strategic planning is the key element to your growth through this no nonsense approach.
Strategic planning is a subject that has been overcomplicated by jargon, competing semantics, and consultants of the world (me included!). In reality, strategic planning is a business concept that's useful to all businesses and organizations, no matter its size or resources. Strategic planning is incorrectly positioned as a tool only available to big businesses. With the help of a practical and realistic approach to strategic planning, Strategic Planning For Dummies help you reap the benefits of strategic planning, whether you're a big boy or a small fish.
