Question-Based Planning: Business Planning Without Mission, Vision, Strategy, Tactics or Objectives

By Derrick Van Mell

Book Overview

All the CEOs interviewed for this book are intensely frustrated with the jargon, cost, time requirement and general ineffectiveness of "strategic planning". But their key complaint is about the MBA facilitators: "We don't want them to tell us what to do; we just want them to ask us good questions." Question-Based Planning (QBP) asks good questions in plain English in a systematic way. It's completed in five 2-hour meetings over five weeks and ends in a 1-page plan. It includes monthly progress reviews and annual updates. It transforms planning from a frustrating, contentious exercise into a productive, positive and effective act of leadership.
