"The Agile Manifesto may have been written initially for software, but its application to Strategic Planning works and it changes Strategic Planning from an event into a process. So, why not apply Agile concepts to Strategic Planning? I believe that planning should be a process not an event." See Applying Agile Concepts to Strategic Planning
This 2-day highly interactive class teaches you not only “how to”; it also teaches you to understand the “why” so that you can implement Agile Strategic Planning. This class covers how Strategic Planning fits within the organization or business and what it does overall – the who, what, why, where, and how. It describes "how to" define the appropriate processes that an organization or business requires and "how to" tie their processes back to its Strategic Plan – Process Modeling. This class is ideal for all people.
