Planning for Profits vs. People vs. Purpose

How to Be Selfish in Your Strategic Planning without Gouging the Planet

Like most other business-people, you have almost given up on the task of combining short-term and long-term strategic planning.


It’s not that you don’t believe in it at some level. You acknowledge there is value in thinking expansively and inspiring others with BHAGs (Big Hairy Audacious Goals).


At the same time, things are changing too fast nowadays. You can barely find time to focus on solving short-term problems, let alone anything pie-in-the-sky.


But what if the popular conventional wisdom, that long-term strategic planning is dead, is wrong?


What if there were huge gains to be made in the following areas from an interwoven short/long-term approach?


Area 1 – gaining competitive advantage by planning for horizons just a bit longer than others. (Amazon)
Area 2 – inspiring staff with commitments that create an irresistible future. (Unilever)
Area 3 – becoming a sustainable organization that takes care of its own, organic ESG concerns first. (CVS)


These areas could be the keys to unblocking multiple goals at once, while bypassing the worst tendency of companies to fall into short-termism.


In this webinar, you’ll be exposed to a practical method of doing interwoven short/long-term strategic planning. You’ll find out how to invest two or three days (rather than weeks) in a way that returns game-changing results. But maybe most importantly, you’ll be well-informed.

Webinar: 3 Mistakes HR Makes in Corporate Strategic Planning Retreats

You’re an HR Manager who is aspiring to a seat at the table, or maybe you’re already there. You want to make an impact and have the executives understand the power of HR.

But before you even arrive at the first meeting, there’s a perception in the way.

Traditionally, HR has been seen as reactive. The first area to be cut when times are hard. Relatively unimportant.

It shows up when you, the HR Manager, starts his/her presentation in the strategic planning retreat. Attention lapses. Executives start to check messages. At some point, someone even rolls their eyes.

What is going on? Is it all their fault or are hidden mistakes being made? Could you be shut out if this situations isn’t corrected?

Unfortunately, from my experience facilitating retreats for a couple of decades, there is room for concern.

In this interactive webinar, you’ll understand the 3 mistakes HR Managers need to overcome to make a profound impact. Come to gain an awareness of what your (future) colleagues are thinking, but not saying…and why. You may also find ways to change their preconceptions before and after the retreat. This paves the way to your success in future high-stake meetings.
