11 Best & Updated Fun Strategic Planning Ideas

We’ve had more people find the Brainzooming blog through looking for fun strategic planning than any other topic. As one of our largest clients, who had never heard of Brainzooming before her initial online search, said:

“When we looked for someone who did fun strategic planning, Brainzooming was the only one who had anything about it. We ended our search right away for a partner to help us run strategy planning in a fun way because no other consulting company even tries to do that.”

What do we mean by the term?

Fun strategic planning is a mentally stimulating, very collaborative experience among highly-engaged groups that leads to action, results, and people who want to participate in future strategic planning initiatives.

Since it’s a topic of such interest, we’ve redone our original guide to fun strategic planning to address virtual and hybrid environments for strategy meetings. The 11 Best & Updated Fun Strategy Planning Ideas is free and features:
