How well are you doing against your strategic plan this year? Does your company have a written plan? Do your employees know the plan and do they operate to it? Are the goals & tactics spelled out so they know exactly what to do? Are reward systems synchronized to the plan? Does the plan unify your team?

A well-crafted strategic plan should be a detailed battle plan for your company. It should be the most tangible example of quality communications from the generals to/from the front-line soldiers. A planning culture facilitates transferring the burdens of making the business go from a few at the top to all employees. It aligns everyone with key objectives and clarifies how the company expects to achieve its objectives. Done well, it balances the control needs of management with some creative freedom in the greater pool of employees that get most of the work done well.
