Getting Started
Strategic Planning – Getting Started
Plan to Plan
After readiness has been assessed and the organization determines that it is ready to move forward with strategic planning, it is useful to develop a plan-to-plan. In other words, to think through the scope and purpose of the plan, the resources needed (including personnel) and how the organization will go about the strategic planning process. The following list of questions will help you to think through this process and develop your plan-to-plan.
1. Whose plan is this? Whole org? Sub-unit? Government agency? Community?
2. Why are we doing this?
