Lesson Learned Guiding Points
Strategic planning is multi-faceted; being reflective, present-oriented, future-oriented, as well as action-oriented all at the same time.
Good strategic planning facilitates good governance, financial management, and program effectiveness.
To feel a sense of pride and “ownership”, everyone (staff, management, Board) must feel they contributed to the plan and their voices are reflected in it. The strategic plan is the AGENCY’s plan (not just a Board, staff or management plan).
