Strategic planning has been described as a systematic process of envisioning a desired future and translating this vision into broadly defined goals or objectives and a sequence of steps to achieve them. Setting the Mission, Vision and Values for the Organization
Values?? ?The organization should also have a set of values which are principles that guide the actions required at all levels of the entity to achieve the mission and the vision. These values provide information to employees as to how they should conduct themselves and how they should undertake their roles in order to achieve the organization's mission, vision and goals. Vision? ?The vision statement defines the organization's desired future state. The vision should be future orientated, ambitious and aspirational while at the same time being realistic and achievable. Mission? The organization's mission is a brief statement identifying the fundamental reason as to why it exists, what it actually does and how it will achieve its vision. It creates a sense of direction, broadly describes the organization's capabilities and can be written as the "present state"


??????Reviewing the Current or Previous Plan
