Strategic planning is 1) finding an ideal future for the organization, 2) identifying the gap between the vision and the current reality and direction of the organization, 3) developing strategies and action steps to close the gap and move the organization toward the vision, 4) and implementing the important strategies and action steps, monitoring, assessing and measuring the results, and regularly re-planning. Strategic Business Leader's Fast Track Strategic Planning System focuses on what's most important for successful planning, is streamlined to limit time investment and expense, and has been applied in organizations of varied size and type.
