The document discusses common issues with traditional strategic planning such as being too process focused, lacking input from various stakeholders, and not properly planning for execution. It then introduces an alternative approach to strategic planning that opens the process up to more people and viewpoints, focuses on innovation and results over processes, and helps put foundations in place for successful strategy execution. This alternative approach is offered as a service to help organizations improve their strategic planning and ability to execute strategies.
