CEOs are central to the strategic planning process. They make sure that their working knowledge about the business is shared with everyone involved in the planning, champion the process, and act as the highest level leader for setting the standards of the organization. The CEO, with the support of the executive leadership team, drives the vision and mission of the organization.
If your CEO is leading the strategic planning process, they may not be able to participate on the same level as the rest of the leadership team, resulting in potential bias and power imbalances. To ensure a successful outcome, it is best to enlist the help of a professional strategic planning facilitator. This way, your CEO can still be involved in the process and provide valuable insight while maintaining a neutral stance and allowing the rest of the team to freely express their ideas. With the right facilitator, your team will be able to reach its objectives and drive future success.
