Why Ditching Your Strategic Plan is the Best Plan | Kristine Michie
PlayFull host Kristine Michie uses a short three-part episode to unpack the secrets of good strategic planning, bravely suggesting that most plans end up marooned on a shelf for good reason.
They’re usually flawed from the start, trying to do too much and unclear about their destination.
Using evocative metaphors ranging from nautical to athletic to childlike, Kristine offers fresh thinking about how to get change-organizations the blueprint they need to get started and keep going when the problems seem intractable and the world is unpredictable.
Kristine’s blueprint for good blueprints suggests nine-, 12- and 40-week plans instead of the more traditional one-, three- and 5-year plans most groups undertake (and most consultants suggest). She describes how ballast on a ship, mile-markers during a marathon, and playground equipment all provide salient clues for how to embark on true 2.0 strategic planning.
