An effective strategic plan considers both the beginning (why are we here? what is our purpose?) and the end (were we successful?). Strategic planning is more than PDCA (plan-do-check-act) but it is a comprehensive feedback cycle that must be actively monitored. Consider the following steps;
Mission – why we exist
Core Values – what we believe in
Vision – what we want to be
Strategy – our game plan
Balanced Scorecard – implementation and focus
Strategic Initiatives – what we need to do
Personal Objectives – what I need to do
