Strategic planning and management are never meant to be quick fixes. Rather, they are processes for developing a roadmap for future development that identify issues that will be important. Strategic planning and management do not ask, “How will we provide this service in the future?” Rather, they ask:
“Should we provide this service in the future?”
“What new services will be required?”
These questions are asked with the central mission and values of the organization in mind. To this end, the second step in developing a strategic plan for the organization you selected for Unit 1’s assignment involves using strategic management principles to develop the key planning components for your selected organization. These include:
The mission.
The vision.
Core values.
Goals.
Governance.
Once you have determined these components, determine your strategic initiatives. Be sure your strategic initiatives competitively position your selected organization for success 10 years from now.
