Strategic Planning Process

A strategic plan can be developed by completing the process below. Use pen and paper to capture your ideas.

1. Where are we now?

• Describe your company’s current state.

• Brainstorm your company’s strengths and weaknesses.

2. Where do we want to be?

• Create a list of 5-10 characteristics that you would like to see in three years from now.

• Draft a one-sentence vision statement describing your company three years from now.

• Finalize the vision statement, making sure that all participants support it.

3. How do we get there?

• Brainstorm three-year goals that will help you achieve the vision, considering:

- Strengths and weaknesses of the company

- Programs and missions

- Involvement of all members

- Achievability in three year

• Prioritize the three-year goals based on participant consensus. As a group, decide on the top two or three goals that will have the greatest impact as your company works toward the vision.

• Identify annual goals that support each of the top three-year goals.

• Determine the deadlines, resources, and people necessary for meeting the first annual goal for each of the three-year goals.

4. How are we doing?

• Create a strategic planning team to regularly monitor progress and recommend revisions to the plan.

• Allocate sufficient resources for the plan’s implementation.

• Evaluate all decisions to make sure they support the plan, providing feedback to the strategic planning team on their implementation.

• Review the strategic plan annually, including the vision statement, three-year goals, and annual goals, and revise as needed.

• Repeat the full strategic planning process every three years to create a new plan or affirm the current one.

Although this process appears systematic and rational, it is often iterative and evolves substantially over time. Further, it is subject to political pressure and will be modified accordingly. Some strategic plan efforts may not include all the steps described.
