Strategic planning for facilities departments often stumbles out-of-the-gate due to inexperience or lack of data and quickly descends into a tactical planning exercise. Whether it is the chaos from “too many cooks in the kitchen” or a fundamental failure to identify the linkages between one’s business unit and the organization’s strategic initiatives, the activities we refer to as “Strategic Planning” are often anything but strategic. In this session, facilities engineers and managers will learn the simple and key components to crafting a flexible and adaptable process to align their team’s strategy with the overarching goals of their organization. Attendees will also learn how to develop scorecards, playbooks and other tools that drive the tactical execution of strategy. Strategic planning is not difficult when you have the right building blocks.
