Companies often fall into habits when it comes to strategic planning. This session will help you question your assumptions about what strategic planning ought to be, with a focus on how boards of directors can best support the strategic planning process. If you have the nagging feeling that the board is too involved (or not involved enough!), speakers from the NCEO and effectively governed ESOP companies will share what works for them, the sand traps they landed in on the way, and specific examples from their strategy discussions.
Learning Objectives:
Understand best practices for the role of the board in strategic planning
Understand the common characteristics of an effective strategy
Gain tools and tips to avoid common pitfalls in strategy governance
