Strategic Plans
What is a Strategic Plan?
Make directional long-term investment
A strategic plan will map out an organization’s strategic objectives for the next 3-5 years, outlining the “how” and “when”. What needs to happen to achieve the goals and what resources are required. This is usually an internal document.
A strategic plan allows you to capitalize on the knowledge of what’s going on around you and provides your organization a defined direction and an action plan on how to achieve it. Your business will be proactive, rather than reactive, to swings in the market and economic conditions.
Benefits of a Strategic Plan
