Tips for successful Plan• Communication– "2 out of 3 HR and IT departments develop plans that

are not linked to the company's overall strategy". • Innovation– "Organizations need the courage to try something

risky that they don't know will work. Why? Because if they know it will work, they'll only get an improvement to what they already have. Yet if they try something that is a little dangerous and new, they will realize true innovation."

Tips for successful Plan• Project Management– "Most devastatingly, 95% of employees do not

understand their company's strategy. (How are they supposed to execute a plan if they don't understand it?)"

• Culture– "There is a failure to understand the culture of the

organization as well as a failure to develop values and culture to support the plans."
