Strategic Planning
Why is it Important?
Organizational leaders have found that developing a strategic plan and an implementation plan is far more effective than leaving future results to chance. It allows the organization to create a plan of action that leads to long-term and sustainable success.
If the plan is implemented well and communicated to every team member and contributor, it drives higher levels of motivation and commitment. If all team members and contributors understand how they effect the success of the plan, they will be far more committed to do what is necessary to help realize the organization’s vision.
