Strategic Planning

Strategic planning is a management tool used within a specified time period to determine mission, vision, values, goals, objectives, roles, and responsibilities. It is used to help an organization do a better job – to focus its energy; to ensure members are working toward the same goals; to assess and adjust direction in response to a changing environment. It is a disciplined effort, producing fundamental decisions and actions that guide what an organization does. Strategic planning shapes an organization’s identity and, with great management, leads it into the future.

WHAT TO EXPECT AS A CLIENT

Pre-Planning
A thorough conversation as to how a specific strategic-planning model would best be tailored to fit your needs and how such a process fits into future planning and outcome development.

Execution
Strategic planning can take place in one full day or over a series of days, depending on the project’s scope. Expect that such a process will be integrated into the other demands of your organization and in tandem with one of your appropriate leaders.

Evaluation & Follow-Up
Effective strategic planning takes place within the context of how your organization’s key players are prioritizing their work and time right now.
