Success factors in strategic planning and creating collaborative strategy were the central topics we tackled on an edition of Smart Companies Radio, hosted by Kelly Scanlon, the owner of Thinking Bigger Business Media, Inc.,  a company that publishes and produces a variety of publications, products and events that connect growth-minded business owners with practical strategies, resources and information that will take them to the next level of success.

It was a pleasure to talk with Kelly about the impact of collaborative strategy on strategic planning, a topic she and I have discussed off the air many times over the past few years. At the heart of our conversation were lessons from our Results! Creating Strategic Impact mini-book. The topics we covered did a great job in providing a thorough view of how we approach and develop collaborative strategy for clients.

You can listen to the full episode here. Additionally, links follow to various articles addressing the topics we discussed related to creating strategic impact.
