| Strategic Planning |
|
Strategic planning determines where an organization is going over the next year or more, how it's going to get there, and how it will know if it got there or not. Far more important than the strategic plan document is the planning processes itself. There are a variety of perspectives about strategic planning and a variety of approaches used in the strategic planning processes. Quite often, an organization's strategic planners already know much of what will go into a strategic plan (this is true for business planning as well). However, development of the strategic plan greatly helps to clarify the organization's plans and ensure that key leaders are all "on the same script."
Organizations that implement a strategic plan often realize the following benefits:
- Clearly define the purpose of the organization and establish realistic goals and objectives consistent with that mission in a defined time frame within the organization's capacity for implementation.
- Communicate those goals and objectives to the organization's constituents.
- Develop a sense of ownership of the plan.
- Ensure the most effective use is made of the organization's resources by focusing the resources on the key priorities.
- Provide a base from which progress can be measured and establish a mechanism for informed change when needed.
- Bringing together everyone's best and most reasoned efforts have important value in building a
consensus about where an organization is going.
