Business Unit Strategic Plan Template Book (PowerPoint PPT)

The objective of these templates is to provide completeness and consistency of Business Unit (BU) strategic plan submissions. These templates are not intended to replace or constrain BU strategic thinking and should be adapted to reflect a particular BU's sectoral context as required

Each section begins with a summary that is based on a synthesis of questions and analyses that follow. The suggested approach would be to first complete the relevant back-up analyses and then work towards the overall synthesis

This presentation is a companion document of the "Business Unit Strategic Plan Training" which guide new CEOs through the basic elements of developing a BU-level strategic plan.
