What is the Pragmatic Strategic Planning Frameworks course about?
Traditional planning models assume co-location and linear execution. In reality, teams are asynchronous, compliance requirements are dynamic, and priorities shift faster than quarterly cycles. Without structured, adaptable frameworks, even strong strategies degrade into misaligned efforts.
