Herr will share his personal experience to help participants navigate through the hurdles that can block the vision of a strategic plan, no matter their size.  In this interactive discussion/workshop we will focus on

• The front-end work which must be completed prior to an effective strategic planning session
• The decision making process
• The participants who are crucial to its development and
• The all-important accountability piece – covering what to do AFTER you’ve created your business plan.

Participants will leave the discussion with a greater insight into the professional planning process, which can be applied to large scale strategic planning or an individual’s daily tasks.
