		<description>I agree very much with your overall assessment that many strategic planning meetings are less than satisfactory.

I do believe, however, that both Michael Porter&#039;s corporate planning methodology and his five forces industry analysis methodology are amazingly suitable for any type of industry. They provide the right process and level for planning, although everyone needs to be clear about the differences among corporate planning, group planning, business unit planning (including product planning) and cost center planning (also called departmental planning).

In the past, it had also been hard for corporate and business unit planners because of a lack of vendor-provided information at the Porter level. 

Now that companies can access objective industry information at the correct (Porter) level for line-of-business analyses, strategic planning in practice should become much more productive at every level.</description>

		<description>[...] Last week I had written about some of my experiences with strategic planning meetings – the pro’s and con’s, what can go wrong and how to avoid some of the problems. However, the process is not over the moment the meeting ends and everybody leaves the room. Even if the meeting was considered a great success, without equally good follow-up it won’t deliver the best results. [...]</description>
