Participants are led through a series of exercises that help define the boundaries of effective strategic planning, and help participants find the thin line between "good" planning and over-planning.

Participants will:

  • Learn how to create an effective one-page strategic plan in one day

  • Learn how to quickly pick winning strategic options
