What is strategic planning? Strategic planning is a process used by organizations to identify their goals, the strategies necessary to accomplish those goals and the internal performance management system that will be used to monitor and evaluate progress. The strategic planning process culminates in the development of a strategic plan document that serves as the organization’s collective roadmap. While each organization is unique, the essential elements of any strategic plan include:
Clear mission and vision statements to frame the context of the document
Clear timelines for strategy implementation and progress monitoring
Quarterly benchmarks or objectives that will inform progress towards annual goals
Identification of the data sources used to track progress
Indication of the individuals and/or offices responsible for each strategy
