Session 2: A new approach to strategic planning
More and more, organizations are moving from traditional strategic planning methods to enrolling into a transformation model. Transformational planning is a framework designed to help organizations understand their business model, better meet their customers’ needs and guide a successful redesign to meet the new challenges ahead.
Transformational planning is the process of developing a strategic plan for adapting an enterprise's business processes through the modification of policies, procedures, and processes to move the organization from an "as is" state to a "to be" state. It also means asking tough questions about customer needs, delivery of traditional services and using technology to both leverage the strategic planning process and track ongoing performance to plan.
