The Importance of Strategic Planning

It is budget season once again. For those who have experienced crafting a budget, making the presentation materials, and defending your budget before your company’s top brass, you know how tedious and draining that process can be—more so when your plans and programs do not align with your organization’s goals.

Crafting solid strategies that support the achievement of corporate objectives is not as easy as it sounds. It requires an understanding of the whole organization and how your functional area contributes to the achievement of your enterprise objectives. It also entails knowing what your organization can do, where it is lacking, what opportunities it can leverage on, and the threats that surround it.

Having a solid strategy in place, supported by action plans that directly link to the achievement of clear and specific objectives, brings you one step closer to achieving success, whether you have your own business or work for a company. It also reduces the risk of failure, overspending, or spending on projects that have little to no impact on the bottom line.

Knowledge of your target market, including ways to reach them, is also key to building a good business strategy.
