Presentation To
UNO Strategic Planning Advance
November 14, 2003
What is Strategic Planning?
• Strategic: preparing the best way to respond
to circumstances (objectives and resources)
of the organization’s environment- regardless
of whether they are known in advance.
• Planning: intentionally setting goals and
developing an approach to achieving those
goals.
• Disciplined and focused: a set of decisions
about what to do, why to do it and how to do
it.
Successful Strategic Planning:
• Leads to action
• Builds a shared vision that is values-based
• Is an inclusive, participatory process in which board
and staff take on shared ownership
• Accepts accountability to the community
• Is externally focused and sensitive to the
organization’s environment
• Is based on quality data
• Requires an openness to questioning the status quo
• Is a key part of effective management
The Strategic Planning Process
Step One - Getting Ready
Step Two - Articulating the Mission and Vision
Step Three - Accessing the Situation
Step Four - Developing Strategies, Goals and
Objectives
