This document provides guidance on developing a strategic plan using a four-step process. The first step is to clarify the organization's vision, mission, and values (VMV). The second step is to identify strategic priorities that will accomplish the VMV. The third step is to establish goals and objectives for each department that will fulfill the strategic priorities. The fourth step is to determine the specific activities each department will undertake to achieve their goals and objectives. Developing the strategic plan involves aligning each level - VMV, priorities, goals, and activities - to define the organization's strategy.
