Often, there is a big gap between where you want your company to go, and the likelihood that you'll get there. Strategic plans may provide a compelling vision and a set of priorities-both of which are necessary-but these alone may not be sufficient to ensure the achievement of business success.

Jeanne Bradford, principal at TCGen and a strategic product development expert, will discuss how to supercharge your planning process by applying best practices in risk management. As Jeanne says, "Many times, risk is managed and mitigated after the strategic plan is written-but there is a better way."

In this session, you will learn how to:
* Create higher value strategic plans
* Apply risk management tools and techniques to the planning process to help executives make better decisions faster
* Increase the probability that your strategic plan will be executed

This highly interactive session will provide opportunities to practice applying tools that can immediately be incorporated into your strategic planning process. These tools can make a positive impact-and close the gap between where you want your company to go, and the likelihood that it will get there.
