Strategic Planning

Business and Management

Strategic planning is the organizational process of defining long-term goals and the actions needed to achieve them, typically involving mission and vision statements, environmental analysis, and multi-year roadmaps. Executives, boards, and planning teams use tools like SWOT and balanced scorecards to align resources and priorities across departments. It's typically revisited annually or during major shifts in market conditions.
