Seeing as how the entire project flows from this, it’s hard to believe why this
stage is often overlooked or rushed through. In the excitement of getting a
Mission
The mission statement answers three (or sometimes four) basic questions
about the organization:
Vision
The vision statement does not provide specific targets. Notice that each of
the above examples could apply to many different organizations. Instead, the
vision is a broad description of the value an organization provides. It is a visual
image of what the organization is trying to produce or become. It should
inspire people and motivate them to want to be part of and contribute to the
organization. Vision statements should be clear and concise, usually not
longer than a short paragraph.
A gap analysis:
Objectives
A gap analysis is process that compares actual performance or results with what
was expected or desired. The method provides a way to identify suboptimal or
missing strategies, structures, capabilities, processes, practices, technologies or
skills, and then recommends steps that will help the company meet its goals.
Given this definition, as a first-time administrator, you were assigned to conduct
gap analysis.
Follow the schedule that you have prepared. Go into each area of the

One strategic planning client had a unique product with an overwhelming market
share. They had concern as to their ability to maintain their competitive
advantage in the face of competitors who eventually could be able to legally
replicate their processes. For them – the solution was to identify organizations
interested in acquiring their technology. Targets were identified with the help of
investment bankers. The result – a successful business sale. The substantial
financial rewards enabled the founders to set up a charitable
foundation. Strategic planning identified the product life cycle and allowed the
client to maximize the strategic opportunity.
The products of Step Three include: a data base of quality information that
can be used to make decisions; and a list of critical issues which demand a
response from the organization - the most important issues the organization
needs to deal with.

Action Plans
Operational Plans
Operational plans include policies, procedures, methods, and rules. The terms
themselves imply different degrees of scope. A policy is a general statement
designed to guide employees' actions in recurring situations. It establishes
broad limits, provides direction, but permits some initiative and discretion on
the part of the supervisor. Thus, policies are guidelines.
A procedure is a sequence of steps or operations
describing how to carry out an activity and usually
involves a group. It is more specific than a policy and
establishes a customary way of handling a recurring
activity. Thus, less discretion on the part of the
supervisor is permissible in its application. An example
of a procedure is the sequence of steps in routing of
parts. A method sets up the manner and sequence of
accomplishing a recurring, individual task. Almost no
discretion is allowed. An example of a method is the steps in cashing a check.
A rule is an established guide for conduct. Rules include definite things to do
and not to do. There are no exceptions to the rules. An example of a rule is "No
Smoking."
