Strategic planning is a process of growth.

Strategic planning is a process that when done well leads to action and growth.  Strategic planning enages the organization in recognizing where it is, where it wants to go, and how it intends to get there.

Strategic planning is about action and results.

The objective of strategic planning isn't the written plan.  The entire strategic planning process is about engaging the organization in a unifying process that:

• aligns the activities
• allocates the resources
• focuses efforts
• establishes priorities
• provides guidelines for decision-making
• develops the capabilities
• delivers results
• provides on-going, dynamic processes
• faciliates interaction and discussion
• integrates the diverse groups, processes, and activities
• provides insights into the organization

Strategic planning programs include.

• On-site workshops
• On-site faciliated work group sessions
• Workshop series
• Project consulting
• Articles
