Whether you consider strategic planning worse than the torture of having your finger nails pulled one by one or if you enjoy a day of long discuss in which indicator, objectives and outcomes are spoken of in great detail, it is important for the success of any project.
I am one of the crazy folks who loves a good day of strategic planning; mainly because a goal is set to be obtained in the future. If we never set goals, how do we know when we are successful?
Hopefully, every person does a little strategic planning along with budgeting. Another word that can bring terror to some.
I spent most of today, with two of my good friends (strategic planning is always best to do with friends) and two new folks that I just met a couple of weeks ago, pouring over pages and pages of strategic planning. This process requires that you think about what you want or wanted to do. If it is your first attempt at the strategic plan, you will be planning what to do and how to do it as well as determine what determines the measurement of your success. If this is a follow up strategic plan, you will be looking at what you did in the past and determining if those actions were successful or not. Next you correct what did not work and continue with what did.
The challenge of strategic planning is to make one's self look at success and failure along with goals. No couldn't we all do with a little strategic planning?
