A strategic plan is like your ultimate guidebook for where you want your organization to go. It's about figuring out where you stand now, dreaming big about where you want to be, and then mapping out the steps to get there. Think of it as setting up goals, deciding on the best actions to reach those goals, and keeping track of progress along the way. It's all about making sure everyone's rowing in the same direction and adjusting the sails when the wind changes.

Strategic planning involves defining an organization’s mission and vision, and the order of goal completion to achieve that vision.

At Breakthrough Consulting, we believe that strategic plans should be simple, focused on the gap between where you are and where you want to be, and your business strategy and tactics to close that gap. That's why we've created our free strategic plan template and this strategic planning process training.

2023, Thank you Don! I have so many ideas but a weakness of planning, that turns to discouragement, which turns into missed opps. I appreciate this and you for breaking this down like I am a 5 year old.

This is great!  A vast majority of the guidance out there is for new organizations: Mission, Vision, SWOT, Goals, Objectives.  Unlike the others, your approach is especially well suited to an older organization like ours.  We know our mission, vision, core values, etc.  But we have our issues, and they are preventing us from carrying out our mission effectively to attain the vision. Your gap analysis approach that generates a strategic plan whose main "thought time" involves outcomes, will help us to move forward.  Thanks for posting this video and the templates!

You are welcome. The few times I write usually it is to mention something that is not working well...I felt very happy last night when I could find a strategic plan that was well explained on you tube and that you made the forms so easy to download and fill. Most places they make you fill a ton of personal information even before we get to see if it is useful or not. I wish you the best in your projects. Regards. Gabriele

THANK YOU DON.
Last night I had to make a Strategic Plan for sales in Latin America and I searched through the web and google images. After going through many forms I got lucky and found your youtube video. It was excellent and the link was easy to download the forms. We are going to implement the system in the Company. Simple and easy..CONGRATULATIONS! GRACIAS

Hi Don...I have been receiving some content through emails you send. But hearing you deliver such a marvel, you have completed my day

[koisimyrudolph]

I have not started your template but I am alreadt impressed just listening to you.

[MuhammadAttia]

first off, I am an industrial systems engineer and I just started a project for strategic planning and was searching for a template, I stopped to listen to your explanation and it was very refreshing and educational and can be easy applied, but at last decided to download the file but it is not even opening the website.

[MelodyJacksonPhD]

So great for concise thinking. Since I tend to complicate things, I like the idea of keeping it simple enough to fit on the 2 pages.... Also like the idea of the front-loaded plan. It's predictable that you don't quite get it all done, so having it front-loaded, you can adjust.  Great job, Don.

[thelmadodson]
