Scenario

Your organization is beginning the process of creating an organization-wide strategic plan for the next five years. You are the only managerial accountant in your entire organization. The committee leading the strategic plan efforts does not include you in the planning process because you are "just" an accountant that records information and could not possibly have anything to add to the strategic planning process.

Initial response

As the managerial accountant, explain to the committee leading the strategic planning process how you can help the organization in the planning process--including strategic position analysis, as well as in the execution of the plan and achieving goals after it is approved.
