JCSC Long-Range Strategic Plan Process & Development

November 26, 2012

Introduction

All large, well-run and efficient organizations have a long-range strategic plan in place. The best plans are under continuous review and evaluation as the needs and circumstances of the organization change. Strategic planning serves a variety of important purposes in any organization, including to: 1.) clearly define the purpose of the organization and to establish realistic goals and objectives consistent with their mission in a defined time frame within the organization’s capacity for implementation, 2.) communicate those goals and objectives to the organization’s constituents, 3.) develop a sense of ownership of the plan, 4.) ensure the most effective use is made of the organization’s resources by focusing the resources on the key priorities, 5.) provide a base from which progress can be measured and establish a mechanism for informed change when needed, and 6.) bring together everyone’s best and most reasoned efforts, which will have important value in building a consensus about where an organization is going.
