Meeting with a mission

Article Abstract:

Strategic planning aims to improve efficiency, expand market share and establish corporate goals. It is a risky process and must be undertaken with committment and input from all levels of the organisation. The process has three stages; analysis, plan development and communication of the plan. It should be reviewed regularly and regarded as a continuous exercise. The planning meeting should include all relevant senior staff, possibly with an external facilitator. A mission statement should be produced together with a clear action plan. All staff should be told about these and, if necessary, encouraged to accept them.
