Strategy is an interesting and complex part of the business. Orchestrating strategy as a team work is one of those difficult exercises that needs to take place. This book provides a flexible three-part formula to help you work with your organization’s executive team and shape a vital strategic planning program. Additionally there are all the frameworks and templates ready for use.

A lot has been said about formulating a strategy but after long hours and investing on a host of resources there is always very little to show for it and so this book proposes a 3-step framework that would help organizations develop a strategic plan that will work.

And this is:
Vital Strategic Planning = The Strategic Planning Workshop + The Written Strategic Plan + The System for Tracking and Communicating Results

It's a rich book because of the examples, possible outcomes, what to look out for that the author explores.
