To help us cope with change and in fact to survive it – we need to plan.

Strategic Planning sets out to answer these vital questions:
Who are we?
Where are we?
What is the future we want for ourselves?
How are we going to get there?

Planning requires us to do 5 things:
1. Think
2. Write
3. Use orderly procedures
4. Make time. Take time off from your normal routine and even get right out of your office.
5. Involve all the key people in your organisation.

A properly-run planning session takes 2 to 3 days of solid hard work – but the reward is that you will come out of it exhilarated, enthusiastic and with a clear sense of direction.
