The Role of strategy workshops in strategy development processes : formality, communication, co-ordination and inclusion / Gerard P. Hodgkinson... [et al.]
This article reports on the findings of a large-scale survey to address strategy workshops, a widespread but little studied practiece in the making of strategy. These workshops typically involve taking managers away from their ordinary responsibilities for a day or two to consider their organisation's long-term strategic direction. As the first of the above quotations from our survey participants suggests, these workshops have become for many organisations an essential if sometimes difficult managerial practice. The second quotation indicates some of the risks of badly-handley strategy workshops: inertia, cynicism and the departure of employees. It is clear that strategy workshops are an important and high-stakes activity in contemporary organisations
