Strategic Planning

STRATEGIC PLANNING (SP)

Is the first step to ensuring an organization’s success. SP is perhaps one of the most important business functions, however, the majority of organizations fail at properly planning and properly executing on strategic plans. Strategic Planning does not start with the plan and it does not end with the plan. In order to ensure strategic alignment business projects, processes, and major operations must work together to contributing to the long-term success of the organization and its stakeholders.

This course in Strategic Planning will guide participants through a framework that helps define strategy selection, improves decision-making, formulates a plan, guides execution, ensures continual alignment, and identifies how to handle common pitfalls and challenges associated with strategic planning.

The framework for strategic planning can benefit all career levels as they continue to advance in their careers and become increasingly involved in formulating and executing on your organization’s mission.
