Given the increased levels of uncertainty at the moment, many businesses are reviewing their strategic approach and shortening their planning horizons. Whether you are rethinking your business model, your operational methods or entirely new markets, the team are going to need a coherent plan that they can get behind. This can be an unusual adjustment to make, and requires a different mindset in planning, reporting and working together.
