Writer's picture: Justine JonesJustine Jones

Strategic planning is the foundation of success for any organization, whether it’s a business, a government entity, or a community group. At its core, strategic planning:


  • Provides Direction: It sets a clear path by defining priorities and allocating resources effectively.

  • Encourages Collaboration: Stakeholders unite around shared goals, fostering teamwork and synergy.

  • Drives Impact: Focused strategies ensure efforts lead to measurable results.


Pro Tip: Start by asking, “What do we want to achieve, and why does it matter?” Anchor your strategic planning process to a purpose-driven vision to inspire alignment, commitment, and engagement.


Why It Matters: Communities thrive when their leaders have a roadmap for progress and are better able to gauge success. Strategic planning enables governments to address critical challenges like infrastructure, education, and economic development while engaging residents in meaningful ways. Similarly, organizations use strategic planning to innovate and remain competitive in dynamic environments.
