While large corporations often have a year-long strategy development process, at small organizations, the core of strategic planning can be completed in a few days and a complete strategic plan can be completed within a month.
It’s important to note that whether at a small organization or a large and complex corporation, the process will always be at least as important as the product. Surprises happen (did someone say Covid?). A rich and robust process will provide the framework to make the hard decisions as easy as they can be, even when that means that specific plans must change.
