What is Strategic Planning?

Strategic planning is a systematic process that helps organizations define their direction and make decisions on allocating resources to pursue this direction. It involves setting goals, determining actions to achieve the goals, and mobilizing resources to execute the actions.

Importance of Strategic Planning

Effective strategic planning provides a roadmap for the organization, ensuring that all members are aligned with the vision and objectives. It helps in identifying strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT analysis) that can impact the organization’s success.
