ABA Banking Journal Podcast · Tactics for meaningful strategic planning · 29 Jul 2026 podcast

Are there new systems we need?

Do we need new locations and different geographies?

And so we start putting all that together.

So that's your strategic plan.

But then executing that plan is the key.

Having a decent plan in executing it will have far more success all the time than just simply doing your business but not really having a plan.

At the same time,

If you've got a plan, but you don't focus on executing that plan and you're not paying attention to the steps you felt you had to go through to get there, then what are the milestones to fill your priorities?

Then that plan is not worth anything either.

And we went through this, this ended up being, I think this, the first time we did this, it stuck for maybe about seven years.

Now, annually, we would get back together with that planner.

We would make adjustments.

We'd bob and wee.

That's not working.

That was a bad idea.

However, we should do this.

But it really was adjustments to the overall strategic posture of the bank.

And then about seven years later, we redid that bulking again.

We put a big team together.

This time we did do it over a six-month timeframe.
