Strategic Planning

Strategic Planning is the process of acknowledging accomplishments, recognizing strengths and weaknesses, and leveraging opportunities and threats. Yet, most organizations resist the process because it is perceived as taking too much time with few results. Too often the end product is a document on a shelf that is never implemented.

A strategic plan is an essential guide to help an organization achieve its vision for the future. It needs to step back and look at its mission, infrastructure, programs, and development and board activities. Participation and buy-in of staff and board is critical to the implementation and success of the plan.
