TWO SCHOOLS OF STRATEGY

There are two schools of thought about the Strategic Process:

1. Logic School - A left brain and linear school
2. Magic School - A right brain and nonlinear school.

Both schools have their strengths and weaknesses. It would be wrong to disregard either; however, in my experience most New Zealand organisations rely far too much on the Logical approach. As a result, many strategic workshops are boring, lack acceptance and not nearly as successful as they could be.

WHEN MIRACLES ARE POSSIBLE

Hear Charles Eisenstein talks about miracles. 
He defines miracles as things that are impossible given old ideas of reality. 
New ideas of reality mean these things may no linger be impossible. 
These miracles are changing the world into something our hearts know is possible.

WHY YOU SHOULD BURN YOUR STRATEGIC PLAN

Most strategy processes fail to get it off paper and into heads. And I mean EVERY head. Otherwise it remains theoretical nonsense that belongs to someone else. If it's done properly, you should be able to burn the final document confident that everyone understands what they have to do. 


It would be great to use this as a way of sharing deeper buying and understanding of strategic direction. What are the best ways you know to achieve this?
