You work for an organization that is currently experiencing a major cash-flow shortage. In the midst of the funding issue, the president of the organization has resigned. You have been asked to make a recommendation to upper management regarding strategic planning efforts of the organization. The managers dont seem that interested, but want you to quickly put some ideas together. Which should you recommend?

a-It is always a good time to start the strategic planning process, especially when the organization is undergoing drastic change in funds and leadership.

b-It would not be advisable to pursue strategic planning efforts until you have the buy-in of management and have filled the key leadership position.
