How can you be sure that your strategic planning retreat does not simply become another "nice time away from the office" with the resulting plan accumulating dust on a shelf. The Bradley Group knows how to prevent this kind of failure.
      First, successful Strategic Plans are developed by a broad representation of the organization that improves buy-in and implementation. The Bradley Group's Strategic Planning Process filters all of the important issues through the "funnel" and only the most critical become areas for action plans. Led by the capable team of Paul Bradley and Sandra Smith, an Action Plan Writing Day is a quick-paced way to generate abundant ideas, prioritize, and get them into a clear coherent form. Following the writing process, Action Plan "captains" then fine-tune the instruments for launch. And there's more.
      After the launch, The Bradley Group Inc. sends monthly reminders via the internet to each individual who is responsible for an active step. This person then, at the end of the monthly cycle, makes notations on progress on The Bradley Group form and returns it. The process repeats until the Action Plan is completed.
      The Bradley Group monitoring process has proven to be invaluable in ensuring implementation of strategic plans.
