Overview
Good leaders make long-term strategic decisions rather than reacting to every fire. This 60-minute strategic planning and decision making webinar strengthens managers' judgment and critical thinking using proven approaches, research and behavioral economics.
You'll follow the decision-making process from start to finish and learn to spot the cognitive biases that get in the way of good individual, group and organizational decisions.
On the planning side, you'll create a shared vision, develop a mission that guides daily action, set goals, objectives and strategies, and cascade the plan through the organization. The session also covers tracking progress, getting back on track and showing a return on your planning effort.
Why attend: Planning often turns into firefighting or bureaucracy. This session helps leaders stay with the fundamentals, use the mission to drive daily decisions, engage employees by cascading the plan, focus on results rather than activity, and demonstrate ROI. It suits CEOs, vice presidents, executive and managing directors, area supervisors, department and project managers, supervisors and leaders in any role.
