by Jayme Renfro

Read here Read at LibreTextsPDF

This book is meant to be a practical guide to he major parts of strategic planning in a way that is intended to be clear, useful, and grounded in how organizations actually work. It does not assume that there is a perfect formula for planning or that any plan can remove uncertainty. No organization can predict the future cleanly. The point is not to produce certainty. The point is to help organizations think more clearly, act more intentionally, and adapt with more purpose.
