$51.95
The first of its kind, this book delineates the industry standards for the field of strategic planning.
It is mainly a primer for executives of all types who wish to master effective strategic management. It is also the definitive exam prep guide for strategic planners who wish to become an Association for Strategic Planning (ASP) certified Strategic Planning Professional (SPP) or Strategic Management Professional (SMP).
Volume I is written with two explicit purposes. First, to help senior line executives better understand the fledgling field of strategic management. Second, to prepare candidates to take and pass the ASP Certification Exam(s).
The Standards of the Strategic Planning Field has been divided into two volumes that follow ASP’s rubric of Lead, Think, Plan, and Act—Volume I: Leading and Thinking Competencies and Volume II: Planning and Change Competencies. Each volume offers in-depth coverage of the standards and competencies for the field.
Each competency is explained thoroughly in two full pages and has corresponding tasks to support it. Currently there is no where else that you will find such great detail and explanations.
