Formal strategic planning can provide several benefits to companies such as encouraging systematic thinking about the future, clarifying objectives and policies, better coordinating efforts, and helping anticipate changes. Strategic planning is the process of developing and maintaining a fit between a company's goals, capabilities, and changing market opportunities. The steps in strategic planning include defining the company mission, setting objectives and goals, designing the business portfolio, and developing marketing and other functional strategies. When analyzing a company's current business portfolio, managers evaluate business units using the Boston Consulting Group approach to determine which require more or less investment and develop strategies like market penetration, development, product development, and diversification for growth.
