Strategic planning is the process by which you determine your organization's long-term goals and the actions you can take to get there.

Strategic Planning is a management tool.

Strategic Planning is a disciplined effort by your organization — board and staff — to produce fundamental decisions and actions that shape and guide what an organization is, what it does, and why it does it, with a focus on the future.

Why conduct strategic planning?

» To identify the Key Issues for your organization
» To Define and state what you want to do in the future
» To inform, excite, Motivate board and staff about your work
» To communicate to donors why they should Invest in your organization
» To help you Allocate scarce resources
» To provide a Roadmap for accomplishing your goals and objectives

The strategic planning process connects brainstorming activities with a plan of action for your group.

Once your organization articulates its ideals and intentions, you must identify specific ways you can achieve your objectives.

Ultimately, you must apply all that knowledge, planning and ideals to adapt your roadmap to the current environment. This step includes identifying challenges and opportunities, and ensuring your organization has all the tools and knowledge necessary.
