Strategic Planning: Leveraging Opportunities
Is the strategic direction of your organization easily understood by everyone
who can help you achieve your goals?
Developing a dynamic strategy is one of the most important things
that you can do. This critical activity can help you identify your
direction and develop key opportunities for success. Strategic
Communications, LLC can help you create a practical, useful strategic plan that will show you real results.
What are the key components of a strategic plan?
- It all begins with mission. The mission of your
organization describes why you exist – what you do and who you serve. A
mission statement rarely changes, but should be reviewed at the start
of each strategic planning cycle.
- The mission is supported by the vision, which explains your organization’s direction for the foreseeable future, usually, over the next three years.
- Central to the planning process is the development of strategy.
This usually consists of four to six broad goals that define how your
organization can leverage opportunities, and achieve its vision.
Defined metrics allow you to measure your progress.
- Tactics are the specific operational steps that move your organization forward in achieving your goals.
Effective communication between your organization’s
leaders is essential to every stage of the planning process, ensuring
that the mission and vision are clearly defined, and the strategic
goals are based on the right opportunities to move your organization
forward.
