Williamson's need to reset the company's goals and anticipate a volatile business environment suggests he needs a strategic plan. The plan should be flexible to accommodate changes in the environment and directional in guiding the company towards achieving its goals. Therefore, option D is the best choice. Option A is too rigid, and option B is too informal and lacks structure. Option C includes "operational," which suggests a more detailed, short-term plan rather than the broader approach needed in this situation.
