Strategic Planning- Planning Today from the Future
with Mike Sharrow
Date: Tuesday, February 24, 2026
Time: 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Location: Webinar
Session Overview
Too many leaders "drive by Braille" reacting to the rumble strips of issues, near term needs, and the haze of today. while the rate of innovation, AI/tech disruptions, de-globalization, supply chain resets, geopolitical uncertainty and capital markets may create fog on the future, what if we can get clarity on what's most important next by looking at today from the future?
In a practical conversation about strategic planning, "Planning Today from the Future" will invite leaders to learn how planning tomorrow from 5 years into the future can give counter-intuitive clarity today.
Business Owners will learn:
- A framework for long-term strategic planning.
- A paradigm for how to think about the balance of long-term and near-term priorities cascading into operational plans.
- A liberating call to embrace strategic planning (with a free guide provided for converting ideas to custom actions).
- How faith translates to daily decisions and operational areas of any business.
