STRATEGIC PLANNING
A strategic plan will help you see where you want
to go and help you make decisions on how to get
there.  In this process collaborative teams
create a vision of what you want your
agency/community to be like in the future and
decide what actions are needed to make your
vision a reality.

5 MISTAKES IN STRATEGIC PLANNING
Lack of Integration. Planning is just the first
step. For strategy to be effective it must be
aligned and integrated with the organizational or
people plans and the operational or business
plans. Also integrate the strategic thinking into
business conversations and meetings to become
strategic execution. Looking at only a part of
the business and not the whole. Provide equal
consideration to how the organization functions
and behaves and adjust the processes accordingly.
Align performance and compensation to address the
who and why people work. People, processes
and technology are the engine that will move the
strategy forward and careful planning will
increase the probability of success.

5 MISTAKES IN STRATEGIC PLANNING
Not thinking BIG enough. Good thinking should
result in ideas that will differentiate you from
the competition with a sustainable advantage. The
real winners will reinvent their industry with
radical and innovative ideas. Limiting future
thinking based on current reality. Work from
what could be, not what is. Dont let the
limitations of current reality limit your future.
Your people and operational plans are the tools
to drive the changes required to meet your
future.

5 MISTAKES IN STRATEGIC PLANNING
Not including key stakeholders. People best
support that which they help create. World view
has become so broad that it is impossible for one
person or group of executives to see every
advantage. Involve key employees representing all
levels, suppliers, vendors or other key
influencers. You will not only include differing
opinions but creating a sense of
ownership. STRATEGIC PLANNING IS Acquire
knowledge ? Create ? Innovate ? Execute ? Measure
? Adjust
