About the Author
Graham Kenny heads the company, Strategic Factors, which specialises in strategic planning and performance measurement.
His firm assists organisations to undertake strategic analysis, write strategic plans and measure performance. It does this, in part, through a facilitation process designed to ensure that clients retain ownership of whatever is produced. Strategic Factors has also been responsible for developing an innovative strategic planning and performance measurement system, called the Strategic Factor System. Products include books, manuals and software for strategic planning, producing key performance indicators and monitoring performance.
For more than 18 years, Graham has conducted public seminars on strategic planning and performance measurement. He has met a vast array of organisational situations and problems.
