It's that time again—annual planning season. Is it time to ditch annual planning?
Most businesses go through this process once a year. It's a time to decide on strategy, objectives, and create a budget to guide spending and investment. The process is frustrating because it is slow and bureaucratic. The biggest risk with the traditional annual process is that things change. The pandemic showed companies that their annual planning process was not serving them. Is there an alternative? We say yes.
In this webinar, you'll learn:
- How to make nimble annual strategic plans that serve as living documents
- How to align, connect, and engage different teams together through the planning process
- How to blend strategic planning and execution with OKRs to produce successful business outcomes
