See how quickly, simply, and easily you can develop your strategic plan!
|
| The vision for your company, project, or program is the first step in the strategic planning of any successful initiative. This establishes the ultimate destination, and dictates the means ("how"), and the actions ("what") required to successfully complete your plan.
The Vision block consists of three steps. Each of these steps must be covered and validated before you can continue the building process of your strategic plan. |
Now that you have defined and validated your vision (where you want to go), it is time to decide on how you are going to get there. Remember the rule: Knowing where you are going is not enough to guarantee that you will arrive at your destination. You now must decide on how to get there.
The Mission block consists of three main components. Each component deals with specific elements important to a well-defined and valid route. Think of your Mission block as a road map, one you are using to plan the route to your selected destination. |
The Action block is the third and final phase of your e-strategy planning process. The purpose of this block is twofold. First, transform your previous two phases into a practical and "tangible" plan, so that you can see exactly how to fulfill your vision. Second, view your vision through a financial perspective and check the feasibility of your final strategic plan.
Another important aspect of the Action phase is to provide a check-and-balance mechanism for your strategic plan. Often, when we are engaged in high-level planning, we let our minds and imagination float free—which is a necessary part of strategic planning. |
The three steps are:
1. Desires (need, value and audience).
2. Drivers (connectivity, interactivity and speed).
2. Landscape (competition, analysis, and advantage). |
The three main components of the Mission block are:
1. Models (business model, revenue model, and operating model).
2. Markets (size, selection and targeting).
3. Marketing (positioning, posting, and programs) |
The Action block consists of three major sections:
1. Activities (priority, stages, and cost).
2. Personnel (responsibility, accountability, and measurement).
3. Financials (revenues, capital, and income). |
Congratulations! You have successfully completed the development of your valid strategic plan,
and now you are ready to start its implementation.
