Strategic Planning Implementation

Strategic planning seldom FAIL, it is the 'implementation' of the strategic plans that fail, and miserably at that in some cases. Implementing stategic plans FAIL for a variety of reasons but foremost is the failure to motivate those involved in the project. But how could we really motivate staff & managers alike to give their 100% efforts? Most people would want to have an ace up their sleeves as back-up for any eventuality!
