13. Importance of Having a
Strategic Plan for the College
If you do not know where you are going you will
probably end up somewhere else!
• It describes:
– why we are here
– what we want to achieve/become
– How we will get there.
• It identifies our problems and solutions for them.
• It defines our objective and our path to get there and
the timeframe to achieve it.
It is a guiding roadmap = the recipe for success.
