41. What Makes a Strategic Plan Actually Work? | Strategic Planning vs. Agility Planning for Purpose-Driven Teams


Listen Later

You’ve probably left a strategy meeting feeling fired up, only to watch progress stall a few weeks later. It’s not a people problem. It’s a rhythm problem. In this episode, we unpack the essential difference between strategic planning (the long-term vision) and agility planning (the short-term execution engine). If you lead a team, run a nonprofit, or are building an impact-driven business, this conversation will show you how to create a plan that’s actionable, adaptable, and aligned with your mission.

Some key takeaways from this episode include:

  • Why your strategic plan keeps stalling out

  • What agility planning actually looks like

  • The culture shift that makes daily stand-ups worth doing

  • How one word (“unless…”) can change the whole room

  • What visionary leaders often miss (and how to fix it)

You started your business to solve a problem and leave a lasting impact in the world, but now the inertia of your business has taken over and you’re too busy and burned out to serve your community. That’s where we come in! Hosted by Scott Woods and Steff Thomas, the team behind Silverback Ventures, the Changemakers Collective podcast is here to help impact-driven business owners like you accelerate growth and multiply impact through servant leadership.
