Plan: Ideation Skills for Improvement and Innovation Tomorrow - Paperback

by Greg Smith (Contribution by), John Canfield (Author)

Plan covers strategic planning and scenario planning. Strategic planning provides an opportunity for a senior team to discuss and decide what they want their organization to accomplish. This book will introduce and practice a ten-step process, ten-great questions, that guides a senior team to learn what it would prefer to do. Scenario planning helps teams consider alternative futures and prepare a successful response plan no matter what the situation. The alternate views will help generate new insights about a company and its possible futures. Thinking this way helps prepare contributors to notice and consider emerging ideas before others even perceive any change. Scenario planning is an excellent complement and second step to effective strategic planning. This may even be the first time these two powerful planning methodologies have been presented together in the same book.
