Strategic planning identifies where the organization wants to be at some point in the future and how it is going to get there. The "strategic" part of this planning process is the continual attention to current changes in the organization and its external environment, and how this affects the future of the organization. Skills in strategic planning are critical to the long-term success of your organization. This form of planning includes:
a) Taking a wide look around at what's going on outside the organization and how it might affect the organization (an environmental scan), and identifying opportunities and threats.
b) Taking a hard look at what's going on inside the organization, including its strengths and weaknesses (perhaps doing a SWOT analysis)
c) Establishing statements of mission, vision and values (some prefer to do that as the first step in planning)
d) Establishing goals to accomplish over the next (usually) three years or so, as a result of what's going on inside and outside the organization
e) Identifying how those goals will be reached (strategies, objectives, responsibilities and timelines)
Strategic planning determines the overall direction and goals of the organization. Consequently, strategic planning influences numerous aspects of the organization, including what:
a) Products and services will be provided by the business and how those products and services will be designed
b) Organizational design and roles will be needed by the organization
c) Performance goals should be established for positions throughout the business
d) Board committees should be developed (in the case of corporations)
e) Resources will be needed to achieve those goals, and consequently, how much money is needed to procure those resources -- ultimately, the goals determine the content of various budgets
Two key points to remember while proceeding through this module are:
1) The planning process is at least as important as the planning document itself
2) The planning process is never "done" -- the planning process is a continuous cycles that's part of the management process itself

SWOT Analysis
What is a SWOT Analysis
A SWOT Analysis or SWOT Matrix is a planning method for exploring the four major aspects of a business venture,
Strengths
Weaknesses
Opportunities
Threats.
This information can be interpreted in numerous ways:
in the form of detailed reports or as a presentation, using SWOT analysis templates.
A SWOT analysis can help explore the critical aspects of an organization’s products, projects and even its reputation and goodwill.
What is a SWOT Analysis, cont.
What makes SWOT particularly powerful is that it can help you uncover opportunities that you are well-placed to exploit.
And by understanding the weaknesses of your business, you can manage and eliminate threats that would otherwise catch you unawares.
In a business context, the SWOT analysis enables organizations to identify both internal and external influences. Outside of business, other organizations have found much use in the method's guiding principles.
When examining the potential for a new business or product, a SWOT analysis can help determine the likely risks and rewards
When to use a SWOT
SWOT is meant to be used during the proposal stage of strategic planning. It acts as a precursor to any sort of company action, which makes it appropriate for the following moments:
Exploring avenues for new initiatives
Making decisions about execution strategies for a new policy
Identifying possible areas for change in a program
Refining and redirecting efforts midplan
The SWOT analysis is an excellent tool for organizing information, presenting solutions, identifying roadblocks and emphasizing opportunities.
SWOT Analysis Matrix – Business/Marketing
Modern SWOT analysis in business and marketing situations is normally structured so that a 2x2 matrix grid can be produced, according to two pairs of dimensions.
Strengths and Weaknesses, are 'mapped' or 'graphed' against Opportunities and Threats.
Strengths and Weaknesses are regarded distinctly as internal factors
Opportunities and Threats are regarded distinctly as external factors.
SWOT MatrixStrengths and WeaknessesThe internal environment - the situation inside the company or organizationFor example, factors relating to products, pricing, costs, profitability, performance, quality, people, skills, adaptability, brands, services, reputation, processes, infrastructure, etc.Factors tend to be in the present Opportunities and ThreatsThe external environment - the situation outside the company or organizationFor example, factors relating to markets, sectors, audience, fashion, seasonality, trends, competition, economics, politics, society, culture, technology, environmental, media, law, etc.Factors tend to be in the future

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

12. Keep in mind that the SWOT matrix and chart are purely instruments for brainstorming.
Some boxes may carry ideas that seem like replications/duplicates of other boxes. This
is normal and expected as recurring ideas and notions are often worthy of exploring.
Some ideas may contradict others since there could be more than one way to interpret
the relationships among S,W,O and T.
The tool is intended to help teams come up with innovative approaches and identify
new tactics and game plans to improve the overall position of the company or achieve
objectives.
For instance, in the above luxury car example, idea 2 in the WO box conflicts with idea
2 in WT box. These are two different interpretations of the best course of action.
The purpose of the tool is simply to identify as many “ways forward” as possible.
The ideas will then be weighted for viability in the later stage of strategy discussions
where the fine-tuning and filtering will take place. In the compilation stage, the ideas
may be adjusted based on objectives and aligned with strategies.
