Chapter 21: Engaging your workforce in the Business Plan

The Culture Catalyst with Stephanie Bown

08-04-2024 • 16 mins

Any founder, CEO or senior executive responsible for running a business can write a one-page plan. Gaining full alignment, clarity and accountability for that plan from the whole team is the challenge.

Creating a Business Plan is a team engagement exercise. If you want your team to have ownership, accountability and buy-in to a strategic plan, they must be involved in building it.


What to expect in this episode:

(05:27): Why business planning needs to be both a bottom-up and top-down process.

(07:24): Using the SOAR framework for clarity on your team’s greatest opportunities and challenges.

(09:42): How you'll disengage your staff with business planning.
