I call my white papers S-TIPs: Strategic Thinking In Practice.
- How to think strategically at every meeting: Make your strategic planning count by thinking strategically at every meeting. Make time with the agenda, briefing book, careful facilitation, and delegation.
- Involving everyone in strategic thinking: Involve your staff and stakeholders in strategic thinking by showing them the small picture, freeing them from distractions, and keeping your data in the room.
- Should the board chairperson facilitate strategic planning?: No. The board chairperson should not facilitate strategic planning because doing so cheats the board, hurts the organization, and silences the chairperson.
