No plan goes very far if there is no money and when folks do not understand
what is going to happen. In a series of routine, focused meetings the
strategic planning team needs to: - update the PowerPoint presentation or overhead slides which lay
out the strategy
- develop a plan to communicate their strategy to the organization
- finalize and publish the plan, the action plans, and any other information
that needs to be shared — usually in a read only shared-folder
or on a website
- determine the review cycle and schedule the first review of progress
- Incorporate the strategy into the budget inputs (the final approval
is always given through the budgeting process).
Key questions to discuss going into the budget
- Is the plan flexible enough?
- Are those responsible clearly identified?
- Can we get a success early, to build momentum?
