At the end of last year, I wrote about the need to put the old strategic planning model out to pasture and embrace a new method that focuses on developing strategic agility.

Here’s why this is so critical.

At its core, strategic planning involves a process of analysis. You do some research into what is and</summary><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.gordongray.info/feeds/9150660484456377053/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.gordongray.info/2011/01/shifting-from-strategic-planning-to.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13886122/posts/default/9150660484456377053'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13886122/posts/default/9150660484456377053'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.gordongray.info/2011/01/shifting-from-strategic-planning-to.html' title='Shifting From Strategic Planning to Strategic Agility'/><author><name>Gordon Gray</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1205/383/1600/Gordon.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G41Hl8fb1RQ/TTkYFVON8oI/AAAAAAAAAB4/P1GSMa4TnEA/s72-c/QuoteInB.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13886122.post-6168165090787572636</id><published>2011-01-21T15:20:00.003+11:00</published><updated>2011-01-21T16:25:59.847+11:00</updated><title type='text'>01.20.11 | Word and Spirit..</title><summary type='text'>4:58 am by len


Yesterday I noted that Alan closes The Forgotten Ways with a plea that we rely more on the power of the Holy Spirit in mission. I found this intriguing, because as he begins to works out mDNA through the book (in particular the diagram on page 25), he places Jesus is Lord at the center without mention of the Holy Spirit.

In other words, mDNA seems to be founded on a confession </summary><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.gordongray.info/feeds/6168165090787572636/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.gordongray.info/2011/01/012011-word-and-spirit.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13886122/posts/default/6168165090787572636'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13886122/posts/default/6168165090787572636'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.gordongray.info/2011/01/012011-word-and-spirit.html' title='01.20.11 | Word and Spirit..'/><author><name>Gordon Gray</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1205/383/1600/Gordon.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G41Hl8fb1RQ/TTkYFVON8oI/AAAAAAAAAB4/P1GSMa4TnEA/s72-c/QuoteInB.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13886122.post-2151525194909595877</id><published>2011-01-21T15:15:00.003+11:00</published><updated>2011-01-21T16:27:14.050+11:00</updated><title type='text'>Addressing Your Greatest Growth Challenge - Will Mancini</title><summary type='text'>
