ASK YOURSELF:

Where are we now? Where are we going? What will get in our way? What do we need to do? How will we implement our plan?  

Can you seamlessly and directly answer these questions without a doubt? If not, let’s discuss how a strategic plan can and will benefit your organization by getting you on track, in sync with the culture and goals of your organization, as well as executing and meeting said goals!

WHAT IS A STRATEGIC PLAN?

Strategy is a set of conscious and intentional choices to achieve desired results. A strategic plan for your workplace defines your organization’s goals and lists the specific actions you’ll need to take to achieve them. So, the first step to creating a strategic plan for your organization is to determine your goals. The difference between a goal and a strategic plan is that a goal is an outcome you desire, while your strategic plan is how you will get there.

WHAT MAKES A GOOD GOAL?

Not all goals are created equal! A worthwhile goal aligns with your company's vision and mission statement. Secondly, determining the correct goals for your organization cannot be outsourced since no one knows your company better than you and your fellow leaders. If it’s been a while since your organization revisited its mission statement or its overall vision, the months ahead are a great time to ensure that your strategic planning will result in the growth you want to see.

NEXT STEPS

An often unmentioned but vital part of any successful strategic plan is to get support from like-minded professionals. However, this is far easier said than done, especially as many workplaces adjust to a hybrid remote and in-person work model. At Leadership Delta, we understand the importance of support as part of a leader's success.
