Strategic Planning & Implementation

What is it?
The title "strategic planning" is misleading. Planning is worthless if there is no implementation. Good planning, therefore, includes a method for ensuring implementation.The "planning" portion of the process requires consideration of internal and external environments for your business. It also requires consideration of key questions.

• What are the (sometimes brutal) realities of your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats?
• Where do your talents, passions and economic drivers converge?
• Do you have a vision and mission for the business that drive the daily decisions?
• What differentiates you from your competitors?

The "implementation" portion is about making sure that plan is put to good use.

• Is it built into the performance plans of all employees?
• Do reward systems actually support the actions required by the plan?
• Are employees evaluated against progress toward goals established by the plan?
• Are financial resources being allocated to support the goals in the plan?
• What can you stop doing because it doesn't fit with the plan?

There are more questions to ask, but you get the point.

Why do it?
Results come from creating a good plan and making it happen.
