Strategic planning is a collaborative process that defines an organization's future goals before they are implemented. It has several benefits, including clearly defining the organization's purpose, creating an inspiring vision aligned with core values, setting ambitious goals consistent with the mission, and providing focus that increases productivity. Evolve's strategic planning model involves first reviewing the scope and breadth of the planning project, establishing decision-making authority, deciding the level of organizational engagement, drafting business indicators, confirming the planning schedule, and confirming the planning team.
