Strategic Planning Seminar
"The end we aim at must be known, before the way can be made."
Strategic planning determines where an organization is going over the next year or more, how it's going to get there, and how it will know if and when it got there or not. The focus of a strategic plan is usually on the entire organization, while the focus of a business plan is usually on a particular product, service or program.
