Strategic Planning Guide for Leaders of Small Organizations
From Chapter 1:
Before I go on a trip, I often buy the Michelin green guides for that region or country. Browsing these guides helps me get a picture of the place, a sort of mental map. The guide helps me clarify why I have chosen this destination. Similarly, this strategic planning guide will help you:
- Understand the parts of a strategic plan
- Understand the planning process
- Choose what parts of a comprehensive plan match both your organization's needs and your resources
- Choose a consultant, if you wish to use one, because you will be able to knowledgably discuss your needs
- Evaluate and update your strategic plan and strategic planning processes as your organization strives for continuous improvement.
