Strategic Planning – What is this? • The “big picture” of what your agency is doing and where it is going • Helps determine where your organization is going over the next year or more • Why is this important? Takes you outside the day-to-day activities of your organization or project and helps give you clarity about what you actually want to achieve and how to go about achieving it rather than a plan of action for day-to-day operations.
Strategic Planning Models • Goals-Based • Most common • Works with the agency vision, mission, and the agency goals to work toward achieving the mission • Issues-Based • Starts with examining issues that the organization is facing • Organic • Focus is primarily on vision and values • Scenario
