Things to consider when doing some strategic planning for any organization:

 

1.    Understand the environment within which you will function.

o     What is the environment that we are working within?

o     Who are the stakeholders/interested parties?

o     What are the objectives of the other stakeholders?

 

2.    Define what the IDEAL TOMMORROW

o     In the ideal world where there are no limits placed on what lies ahead, what would this “organization” be doing? For who? How?

 

3.    TODAY’S REALITY

o     What are some of the positive, negative considerations?

o     What actions can be done as to achieve the IDEAL TOMMORROW

 

4.    TOMMORROW’S REALITY

o     Define a statement of where you want the organization to be at a certain point in time

o     Then Develop objectives to help achieve your vision

 

5.    Implementation Plan

o     What will be the communication plan? How will it be positioned?

o     What are the specific actions? Deliverables? Dates? Responsibility?
