Overview

Strategic planning is a process for determining what a business should become and laying out the roadmap for how it can best achieve that goal. In many organizations, the focus tends to be on short-term strategic planning methods, such as OKRs. However, without a larger vision to tie OKRs to, the impact of quarterly planning falls flat.

As many organizations kick off the 2022 planning process, now is the perfect time to brush up on your strategic planning skills.
