Strategic planning is the highest level of decision making for determining an organization's basic direction and purpose. The strategic planning process is a means through which an organization's vision for the future is articulated; strategic directions, goals, objectives, and strategies are formulated, activities are selected, and resources are allocated in response to understanding several scenarios. |
 |
It is a source of independence and empowerment for the organization and those whose destiny is linked to the work of the organization. Organizations, for-profit and nonprofit, have a critical need to move from their current reality to a future where all of their goals are realized. With increased pressure to deliver on the organizational promises made to the consistency and the community, planning is no longer an option, but is now a necessity. |
Strategic Planning Enables an Organization to Realize Its Goals by Working through 3 Important Tasks | - Defining the Organization's Values, Vision, & Mission
- Aligning the Organization's Programs, Products, and Services to Its Mission
- Positioning the Organization to Play a Pivotal Role in Changing the Face of the Opportunity

Defining the values, vision, and mission of an organization is an essential step towards ensuring the board, staff, constituency, stakeholders, and donors understand and support the path taken by the organization. This is no small undertaking. The values, vision, and mission guide all actions that an organization undertakes to conduct its work. They define the nature of the goals and objectives, as well as type of strategies, activities, and tactics the organization will or will not engage in.

Organization Design & Restructuring |
Organizations, like humans, experience many specific stages of development. Each organizational stage of development has its own unique challenges and opportunities. Organizations have a culture, a set of values, a vision, and mission that give structure, and character to the life of the organization. However, from time to time organizations lose focus and either stall or go into decline. There is no prescribed stage in the organization's life cycle when it encounters such barriers to its stability and growth. | For a variety of reasons, organizations often fail to seek help until there is some serious overt event, which brings the organizations dysfunction to the attention of its board, staff, constituency, or the public at large.
