Strategic Planning Timeline: Key Phases and Activities PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 79-slide Strategic Planning: Process, Key Frameworks, and Tools PowerPoint presentation, outlines a structured timeline for a traditional strategic planning process, spanning from June to November. It highlights key phases and activities that organizations typically undertake to develop their strategic plans. The timeline begins with the evaluation of the organization's vision, mission, and values, which sets the foundation for subsequent steps.

Starting in June, the situation analysis phase is crucial. This involves a thorough review of the company's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT analysis). This analysis informs the strategy review, which encompasses both corporate and strategic business units (SBUs). The timeline indicates that departmental operational planning follows, ensuring that each department aligns its objectives with the overall strategy.

As the process progresses into August and September, the focus shifts to the presentation of departmental strategies. This collaborative approach allows for alignment and integration across various functions. The review of departmental operational plans and budget presentations occurs in October, ensuring that financial resources are allocated effectively to support strategic initiatives.

The culmination of this process is in November, where the finalized plans are presented to the board for approval. This step is critical, as it ensures that the strategic direction has the necessary buy-in from top leadership. The slide also notes that the actual timeframe may vary depending on the organization's readiness and complexity, emphasizing the need for flexibility in the planning process. Overall, this slide serves as a roadmap for organizations looking to navigate their strategic planning effectively, providing clarity on the sequence of activities and key milestones.

This slide is part of the Strategic Planning: Process, Key Frameworks, and Tools PowerPoint presentation.

MBB/Big 4 style presentation that provides a holistic approach for undertaking strategic planning. While covering the traditional strategic planning approach, the document touches on adaptations that may be used in an unpredictable environment.
