Planning and Strategy
Strategic Planning
Your strategic plan is your path to becoming. There should be things in your plan that make you gulp! While good strategic plans have a lot in common with each other, they should be individually tailored to your institution and appropriate to non-profit or governmental organizations with many stakeholders, many constituencies, many revenue streams, and diverse projects and programs.
To do the planning right takes time, energy, and sometimes money.
So why do it?
- An effective strategic plan has to work for you, not be a nice piece of jewelry you bring out on special occasions.
- It should guide your decisions and resource use.
- The process of developing it should be iterative, making sure all the right people have a voice.
- It should describe your unique place in the market.
- And the strategies, priorities, accountable people, and timeline all need to be there.
