Strategic Planning Development

THE PLAN TO PLAN

CHP&M begins each strategic planning project with a "Plan to Plan" meeting in which the following questions are explored:

1. Why undertake a strategic planning process? Why do it now?
2. What are the strategic questions and organizational issues to be explored in the process?
3. Who are the key stakeholders in the process? How will they be involved?
4. What information do we need to collect to support informed decision making?
5. What are the roles to be played in the planning process and who will assume these roles?
6. What are the major steps in the process and the timeline for completion?
7. What should the final written strategic plan document include?
8. What level of resources will be invested in this process?
9. What are the transition steps to operational planning?
10. How will the board monitor and update the strategic plan?

The answers to these questions enable CHP&M to design a planning process that meets the unique needs of each client organization. From quick "Strategic Direction Setting" retreats that result in a common understanding of the organization's mission and goals to longer "Strategic and Operational Planning" processes that result in specific objectives, activities, assignments and timelines, CHP&M will work with your organization to envision your desired future – and to achieve it.
