Strategic Planning

It is important to differentiate between a Strategic Plan (noun) and Strategic Planning (verb).

Strategic Planning

 ...is an organization’s process of defining its strategy or direction and the necessary steps and resources to achieve this outcome.

A Strategic Plan

 ..is the destination and answers the question:


“Where do we want to go?”   

Strategic Planning

...IS THE ROADMAP THAT ANSWERS THESE QUESTIONS: 


“How do we get there?" 

 "What kind of resources will it require?”
