Strategic planning is a skill that every business can use to accomplish tasks from one quarter to the next and create growth. However, like any system, when misused, strategic planning can create an endless cycle of never-finished projects that can have the opposite effect. In today's solo episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius shares some of his early experiences with strategic planning, the challenges he discovered, and how he's looking to make the system work much more smoothly. You'll learn how his team began to repackage/rename uncompleted projects and resubmit them from one planning session to the next, only focusing on the things that came easily - and how he resolved the issue. You'll find out why he believes the standard SWOT model is broken, as well as his suggestions for a better method of planning. You'll discover the distinct difference between working ON the business and working IN the business - one leads to growth, the other, to stagnation. You'll also learn about his new training covering the Scale M.A.P. Method and the Three Pillars of Invisible Scale. Join Darius for this fascinating discussion on strategic planning and how you can make yours as effective as possible. Enjoy! What You’ll Learn in this Show: The biggest challenge he's encountered when doing strategic planning with his team. Why Darius believes the SWOT system is broken, and how he's tried to improve it. The difference between working On the business and working IN the business. And so much more...
