Sample Strategy Chart
The strategy chart is one of the most useful tools that we have found for consistently doing good planning. The value of the chart is that it poses the right questions in the right order. Learn how to use it for planning individually, but also for leading group discussions. It prevents people from going off on too many tangents, and it provides an outline for the discussion.
At first glance, the chart appears to be a series of lists. Actually it works like a spreadsheet. All five columns need to be wired together, so that if anything changes in one column, you must make appropriate changes in the others. As in a spreadsheet, there are certain mathematical relationships in the chart. Your power has to be equal to your demands for example, and your tactics must have a direct cost to your target.
