The primary benefit of the planning process is the process itself, not a plan. It is essential to put energy and effort into planning your process.

How do we make it happen? Remember, if you don't know where you want to go it doesn't matter which road you take!
Strategic planning for affordable and public housingEbony Hall
Many of us talk about strategic planning, but do we really understand what it means? Especially for affordable and public housing. Does your board know why you need a strategic plan and can they appreciate the effort it will take to crank one out?
This document discusses how to set goals using the SMART and SWOT techniques. It begins by defining short-term, long-term, fixed, and flexible goals. It then explains that goals should be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound in order to be effective. The document outlines common reasons why goals may fail, such as not being written down or unrealistic. It also discusses performing a SWOT analysis by identifying strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. This allows one to effectively introspect and set meaningful and achievable goals.
This document outlines a training on strategic management that will teach participants how to develop strategic plans for their organizations, including creating vision and mission statements, conducting SWOT analyses to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, and using logic models for planning. The training will cover the basics of strategic management, vision and mission development, SWOT analyses, and logic modeling, and will provide opportunities for participants to practice these skills. The goal is for participants to understand how to take a strategic approach to management and planning for optimal organizational performance.
This document discusses the importance of setting personal and organizational goals using the SMART framework. Some key benefits of setting goals include having a sense of purpose and achieving dreams. Goals should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound.

I. Reading: Why Set Goals?
Why set goals? Having a clear direction for your future and a picture of what you plan to do is
extremely important for maintaining a positive attitude. Having clear goals is a key to creating and
maintaining a positive mindset even when “things get tough.”
Qualities of Goals
In order for goals to be useful, they need to have the following qualities:
The goals that you set for yourself must be based on your values and beliefs.
No one else can choose goals for you. Others can make suggestions, but you must "own" your
goals for them to be useful.
You must decide what you want to achieve.

Goal Setting and Planning
In this unit, you will be focusing on goal setting and planning. In order to set realistic goals for yourself, you must first have a clear
understanding of what is important to you.
You will also begin planning ahead for your Unit 8 project by setting up an interview with a professional in your chosen field.
Goal Setting
In Unit 7 you investigate the power of setting goals. You seek to recognize the importance of goal setting and actually apply this
S.M.A.R.T. concept to your Unit 7 interview with completion and submission of your project in Unit 8. Goal setting will assist you and
motivate you to reach for success.
Why is Goal Setting Important?
Imagine you decide to build a house. You do not bother with setting any goals for its completion. Wow. What a mess. Imagine you want
to be a doctor when you grow up, but never thought you needed to take a science class in high school, or did not even plan on going to
college.
Goals motivate us.
Goals stimulate your creativity. You use one of the best creative words possible — you visualize. When you engage in visualization,
you are on the top step of Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy. You are fully engaged in critical thinking. Without goals, you will not achieve that
visualization.
Goals guide you.
CS113 Unit 7 Reading page 3
Goals are set to lead you as you move from beginning to end. They carry you along your way.
Goals inspire you.
Goals help you to recognize that you are the creator of your own stories. You can achieve anything that you want to achieve with the
inspiration you will get from goal setting. You will take things one step at a time and with each step you feel the power of completion.
Goals challenge you.
If not for the challenge involved in accomplishing a goal, you would not get past the first step. Goals do not have to be extremely hard to
reach, and they should not be too simple either, as there is no challenge in that. You reach when you set goals. You want that object,
job, or future that.

This document provides guidance on how to write SMART objectives. It explains that objectives should be specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound. There are three types of objectives: business, performance, and behavioral. Objectives keep employees focused on what is expected of them and how they are performing. When writing objectives, they should be clear, have deadlines, and be realistic yet meaningful goals that support the overall business goals. The document demonstrates what a completed SMART objectives table looks like using an example about improving communication consistency.
Strategic Planning is a key business activity for many organizations, and yet, many of these plans remain on the shelf while day-to-day demands take over. This presentation outlines how psychological type (popularized in the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator - MBTI) can be leveraged as a great tool for a strategic planning effort. Originally presented at the August 2009 APTi Conference by Jennifer Tucker and Hile Rutledge:

The managers achieve organizational objectives by getting work from
others and not performing in the tasks themselves.
Management is an art and science of getting work done through people.
It is the process of giving direction and controlling the various activities
of the people to achieve the objectives of an organization Management is a universal process in all organized, social and economic activities. Wherever
there is human activity there is management.
Management is a vital aspect of the economic life of man, which is an organized group activity. A
central directing and controlling agency is indispensable for a business concern. The productive
resources –material, labour, capital etc. are entrusted to the organizing skill, administrative ability
and enterprising initiative of the management. Thus, management provides leadership to a
business enterprise. Without able managers and effective managerial leadership the resources of
production remain merely resources and never become production. Management occupies such an
important place in the modern world that the welfare of the people and the destiny of the country
are very much influenced by it.
1.2 MEANING OF MANAGEMENT
Management is a technique of extracting work from others in an integrated and co-ordinated
manner for realizing the specific objectives through productive use of material resources.
Mobilising the physical, human and financial resources and planning their utilization for business
operations in such a manner as to reach the defined goals can be benefited to as management.
1.3 DEFINITION OF MANAGEMENT
Management may be defined in many different ways. Many eminent authors on the subject have
defined the term "management". Some of these definitions are reproduced below:
In the words of George R Terry - "Management is a distinct process consisting of planning,
organising, actuating and controlling performed to determine and accomplish the objectives by the
use of people and resources".
According to James L Lundy - "Management is principally the task of planning, co¬ordinating,
motivating and controlling the efforts of others towards a specific objective",
In the words of Henry Fayol - "To manage is to forecast and to plan, to organise, to command, to
co-ordinate and to control".
According to Peter F Drucker - "Management is a multipurpose organ that manages a business and
manages managers and manages worker and work".
In the words of J.N. Schulze - "Management is the force which leads, guides and directs an
organisation in the accomplishment of a pre-determined object".
In the words of Koontz and O'Donnel - "Management is defined as the creation and maintenance
of an internal environment in an enterprise where individuals working together in groups can
perform efficiently and effectively towards the attainment of group goals".
According to Ordway Tead - "Management is the process and agency which directs and guides the
operations of an organisation in realising of established aim

Breaking Silos To Break Bank: Shattering The Divide Between Search And SocialNavah Hopkins
At Mozcon 2024 I shared this deck on bridging the divide between search and social. We began by acknowledging that search-first marketers are used to different rules of engagement than social marketers. We also looked at how both channels treat creative, audiences, bidding/budgeting, and AI. We finished by going through how they can win together including UTM audits, harvesting comments from both to inform creative, and allowing for non-login forums to be part of your marketing strategy.
I themed this deck using Baldur's Gate 3 characters: Gale as Search and Astarion as Social

4. How to write SMART goals
S: Specific
In order for a goal to be effective, it needs to be specific. A specific goal
answers questions like:
What needs to be accomplished?
Who’s responsible for it?
What steps need to be taken to achieve it?
Thinking through these questions helps get to the heart of what you’re aiming
for.
5. How to write SMART goals
M: Measurable
Specificity is a solid start, but quantifying your goals (that is, making sure they’re
measurable) makes it easier to track progress and know when you’ve reached the
finish line.
A: Achievable
This is the point in the process when you give yourself a serious reality check.
Goals should be realistic — not pedestals from which you inevitably tumble. Ask
yourself: is your objective something your team can reasonably accomplish?
6. How to write SMART goals
R: Relevant
Here’s where you need to think about the big picture. Why are you setting the
goal that you’re setting?
T: Time-bound
To properly measure success, you and your team need to be on the same page
about when a goal has been reached. What’s your time horizon? When will the
team start creating and implementing the tasks they’ve identified? When will they
finish?
SMART goals should have time-related parameters built in, so everybody knows
how to stay on track within a designated time frame.
7. What Is SWOT Analysis?
SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats.
8. How To Do SWOT Analysis
The following steps can guide the ones doing it for the first time or missing
on a step or two:
Decide On The Objective
Define The Strengths
Define The Weaknesses
Find The Potential Opportunities
Define The Threats
Develop A Strategy
9. Mission Statement
A strong sense of purpose, a visceral understanding of why the organization is
in business.
A great sample of a mission statement that leaves no doubt why this
organization exists, is for the Starship Enterprise of the Star Trek movie and
TV show series. It states "to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life
and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before." Now that
clearly and in a concise fashion, communicates the reason for being.
