Product Description
by Lisa Boisvert (Author)
This book picks up where Hoshin "How-To" books often leave off and provides practical ideas and tools for overcoming some of the messier obstacles faced by today's executives and planning professionals when they conduct their strategic planning, such as working with unions, planning during an acquisition, dealing with measurement fatigue. Boisvert addresses these and other issues head-on and with a candid, practical, and compassionate eye.
