Strategy Readiness: The Foundation of a Strategic Plan That Actually Works
Recorded September 23, 2026 · with Eric Loewen
Your leadership team blocked off two days for planning. You booked the facilitator and told everyone this round would be different. Then the room circles the same few topics, and the plan you leave with reads like last year's.
Strategy Readiness is the first stage of the inVision Edge Strategy Blueprint, and it comes before goal-setting. It is where you find out whether your leadership team is aligned and can think strategically together, with enough trust to disagree and still move forward.
In this session, you'll learn how to:
- Assess your readiness honestly, and know what to do when you are not there yet
- Build the trust and alignment that strategy depends on, on purpose rather than by luck
- Recognize what strategic thinking looks like day to day, and grow it across the team
- See where readiness sits in the Strategy Blueprint, and what the next stage asks of you
Walk away able to read where your team stands and decide whether to start planning now or shore up the foundation first.
Find out where your team really stands
If you lead or support strategy in your organization, this is for you, whether it is your first planning cycle or your fifth.
This session is for anyone who wants a planning process that moves the organization forward, not just a finished document.
- CEOs and executives who want planning efforts to end in decisions the team acts on
- Leadership teams that want their strategy work to translate into real momentum
- HR and organizational development professionals working on the leadership habits and culture that readiness depends on
- Board members and governance leaders who want to set the organization up well
Join Eric, Senior Strategy Consultant at inVision Edge, for an honest, one-hour look at what readiness takes and how to tell whether your organization has it yet.
