What is Strategic Planning?
Simply put, strategic planning involves devising a strategy that defines where you want to go with your business and how you’re going to get there over a defined time period. This process can be organization-wide, or focused on a major function such as a division, department or other major function.
Why should you invest in Strategic Planning?
Strategic planning provides a variety of benefits to an organization:
- Clearly defines the intent and purpose of the organization (its vision and mission)
- Establishes realistic goals and objectives consistent with its vision and mission
- Defines the approaches (strategies) the organization with take to reach their goals and objectives.
- Creates specific action plans for each of the strategies.
- Analyzes the organization’s capacity to effectively implement these strategies.
- Communicates those goals, objectives and strategies to the organization’s associates.
- Develops a sense of associate ownership by aligning the action plans with their daily responsibilities and activities.
- Ensures the most effective use is made of the organization’s resources by focusing the resources on the key priorities.
- Provides a base from which progress can be measured and establish a mechanism for informed change when needed.
