Strategic Planning sessions can go sideways before, during, or after the workshop. Here is my list of what makes a successful session:

• Before
  
• having the optimal number and mix of participants
• budgeting for an appropriate session length 
• During 
  
• having a session that can be easily understood by all participants
• ensuring the strategic plan is not confused with a strategic marketing plan
  
• ensuring that every participant has clear roles and responsibilities (i.e. does everyone have an equal vote or are some present  for input and information sharing only?)
• ensuring an optimal combination of traditional and creative processes are used
• After
• operationalizing the strategic directions into manageable projects
• Systematically executing the action plans
