2025 Strategic Planning Resources

Are you now preparing for 2025 strategic planning? If so, then you should know about these to two tools and the accompanying facilitators guide, which I believe are the best in the business for strategic planning and alignment.

First, you can conduct an Entropy Survey, which will show what your company’s internal strengths and weaknesses are. Use the results of this survey to build a shared understanding of where your team should focus now to make the biggest improvements to drive operational excellence. To see how the survey works, sign up for free and take it yourself. Send it to the all attendees for completion about a week before the offsite so that you can digest the results.

Second, you can conduct a Top-Level OKRs Strategy Survey, which will show your company’s current lifecycle stage and its strategic execution risks which will help you to formulate the right growth strategy. To see how the survey works, sign up for free and take it yourself. Send it to three to five of your most senior leaders about a week before the offsite so that you can digest the results.

Additionally, here is a step-by-step Strategic Alignment Facilitators Guide that you can use to facilitate a world-class strategic planning session with your team. Take the time to read this guide in advance, then use it as a guide during the strategic planning session. It will help you create a clear and powerful outcome and should build momentum for next year.

Finally, if your company is in the expansion stage, consider applying for my Designed to Scale CEO Coaching Program to work with me directly. Thanks and I hope you find these tools as useful as I have, deploying them in several hundred growth companies.
