Ah. The New Year. Some of you out there have no doubt dutifully written down your New Year’s Resolutions (cards on the table: we used to do these. all. the. time!). What we’ll be talking about today is, in some ways, the organizational equivalent of those resolutions - strategic plans. Don’t get us wrong: we’re both big fans of them - as we are, in general, about the process of making resolutions (more on that later). But in an increasingly volatile world, strategic plans may turn out to be as useful as resolutions. Does that mean we should stop planning, though? (Hint: no!).
