In this excerpt, Adrian Morey warns that during the lifecycle of a strategic plan, changes in personnel or leadership, competition for resources, and lack of visibility can cause the organization to perceive the plan as a waste of time and resources. He emphasizes that without clear mechanisms—such as well‑defined programs, projects, and supporting frameworks—to demonstrate ongoing progress toward intended outcomes, the plan is likely to fail. The speaker advocates for a strong vision and transparent tracking systems to ensure the organization sees value and stays committed to the strategic objectives.

Chapters

And maybe during the cycle of a strategic plan, there's changes of personnel. And if you don't have clear mechanisms to demonstrate that progress, demonstrate you're progressively moving in the right direction, that you're going to realize those outcomes and benefits that are going to move the organization forward, well then, you know, you can quickly get to a point where the organization says, "Well, this is a waste of time." and this is a waste of our resources, and there's better ways to, to, you know, obviously use these resources for other things. So a competition for resources, lack of visibility, changes of personnel or leadership can all mean that if you don't have a clear sort of vision and appropriate mechanisms through programs and projects and the supporting sort of frameworks, then you maybe set yourself up to fail.
