Example of Strategic Planning

We have seen how a system that encourages what Aristotle called, “Deliberate Discourse,” and Marshall terms, “Authentic Discussions,” can enable leaders in an organization to frame strategic planning discussions around the proper context needed for aligning shared purpose and setting shared objectives.

Such a system integrated within a Community of Practice framework allows participation among people on a global scale at minimal cost, without requiring the expense of travel or the allocation of significant time and other resources.

Using a Community of Support model for facilitating strategic sessions a collaborative team of leaders can in a short time frame set the scope of a multi-phase transformation process that will move the organization away from top-down command-control and into a collaborative workplace model that can provide greater benefits to customers, employees and stakeholders.
