Strategic planning, when effectively applied, improves an organization’s likelihood to achieve short and long-term goals. Yet many of us struggle with the appropriate follow through. According to an intelligence unit report by The Economist, 61% of respondents admitted their organizations struggle to bridge the gap between strategy formulation and day-to-day implementation.


So, what are the best next steps to implement a strategic plan?


Over the next few days, I will share one tip each day that is designed to help you, and your organization, follow through on a strategic plan. When applied correctly, these tips can create alignment and ultimately help your organization reach its goals.

Tip #14: Be confident in the strategic foundation that was developed based on the constants of your organization such as your vision, mission and values and accept the fact that the strategic plan is a continual work in progress.
