Strategic Planning
"The proper and ethical task of a strategic planning consultant is to build client independence,
not dependence on the consultant" ~Clark Crouch
THE PLANNING PROCESS
During the Planning Process we will establish, affirm or revise the organization's Vision and Mission.
This is followed by an Environmental Scan. Goals are established related to the previous activities.
Action Plans are developed....and then a plan for the Implementation and who will take the lead.
Remember ...
Internal - Strengths and Challenges
External - Opportunities and Threats
but.....
Everywhere - Constraints and Competition!!
GROUP WORK
Teams will identify their top 3 goals by consensus
.... be prepared to defend them to the group
- Why are we in business?
- How do we do business?
- Where are we now?
- Where do we want to be?
- How can we get there?
- How will we know when we've arrived?
