Developing a Strategy to Accomplish More By Doing Less October 15, 2009

The point of strategic thinking and planning is to determine what should be done, but equally important is the art of knowing what not to do.

"Having lost sight of our goals we redouble our efforts." - Mark Twain

Time, energy and funding resources are scarce. Lately it feels these resources have been subjected to that 'great sucking sound...' especially our own time and energy. How to make the most of what we have takes clarity of purpose, a clear vision and well defined goals. Clarity is achieved by asking that key question: "What are we not going to spend our precious resources on?"

Marc Lesser's work with organizations has shown that when teams and individuals can make the hard choices of what not to waste resources on they actually achieve more. This session focuses on proven methods to make hard strategic choices. Choices that will result in improved decision making and focus, enabling you, your team and your organization to align and achieve more by doing less. Ideas and methods we can all use.
