What makes a bad strategic plan?
According to Harvard Business School, 92% of business plans fail due to poor execution, and so getting a plan that succeeds, is difficult.
Your strategy should clearly explain your direction, and how you will be different from your competition. Then, your execution plan should detail specifically where to commit your resources of time and money to ensure you execute that strategy. 
In this episode, Kevin and Brad discuss five things that make a bad strategic plan, and how you can avoid those, to build more effective strategic plans, that succeed more often.
