I like the way you see things. Feel free to use any content from my blog/website, I\’ll definitely keep yours on my favorite list….

Well done concise listing of elements for a Strategic Plan. I would strongly reiterate your point regarding goal setting and individual accountabilities. To many times Strategic Plans fail because those individuals whom are to execute the elements of the plan just don’t know where to start. They read the mission and other broad strokes of the plan but cannot make the connection between those elements and what they should be doing. This is especially true if the individuals whom are to ‘take action’ were not directly involved in the insightful process of creating the plan.

Additionally, in our research execution of a plan is supported by having tools to assist in recording and monitoring the actions that make up a plan, not to mention the value of providing clear action items to individuals. Tools such as these are plentiful, varied and offer all manner of approach which can allow organization’s to choose a tool that fits their style of execution and management of strategy.
