Strategic
Planning
Business leaders today have found that
developing a strategy and a plan is far more effective than leaving
the future to chance. Furthermore, the key factors that create
higher levels of motivation and commitment continuously fuel higher
levels of achievement. Finally, the effective implementation of the
plan is as important as the planning. This is the true determining
factor as to whether or not a company is successful.

that strategy through the business planning process and establishing
measurable goals. It is a process that involves not only determining
