What are the benefits of planning strategically?
• It leads to transformation change and success. • Strategic planning connects visions to goals, goals to action and action to results. • It defines clarity of purpose for the organization and focuses the organizations actions toward that purpose. • It frames and galvanizes the organizations purpose for stakeholders outside the organization. • It leads to a tactical plan with timing and action steps to be executed. • It aligns processes, infrastructure and personnel to the vision increasing operational effectiveness. • It gives a clear image of what success looks like when the goal is reached. • It provides metrics to monitor progress to the goal and to drive reaction, if they indicate the execution is not on track for success. • It improves teamwork and results.
