Five-Phase Framework for Strategic Planning


This PPT slide, part of the 77-slide Complete Guide to Strategic Planning PowerPoint presentation, outlines a five-phase framework for a basic planning process, essential for any organization aiming to streamline its strategic initiatives. The phases are clearly delineated: Business Unit Identification, Situational Analysis, Strategic Formulation, Performance Analysis/Business Plan, and Performance Measurement & Control. Each phase serves a distinct purpose, contributing to the overall effectiveness of the planning process.

Starting with Business Unit Identification, this phase emphasizes recognizing the various segments within the organization that require tailored strategies. Following this, Situational Analysis allows for a comprehensive understanding of the internal and external factors impacting the business. This analysis is crucial for informed decision-making.

The third phase, Strategic Formulation, is where the insights gained from the previous steps are synthesized into actionable strategies. This is a pivotal moment in the process, as it sets the direction for the organization. The fourth phase, Performance Analysis/Business Plan, involves evaluating the proposed strategies against performance metrics, ensuring alignment with organizational goals.

Finally, Performance Measurement & Control wraps up the process by establishing mechanisms for ongoing assessment. This phase ensures that the strategies remain relevant and effective over time. The note at the bottom highlights the importance of transitioning smoothly through these phases, underscoring that the flow from one step to the next is not just procedural, but critical for success. This structured approach can help organizations navigate complexities and achieve their strategic objectives more effectively.
