What Is Strategic Planning?

Strategic planning is an organizational activity that is used to set priorities, focus energy and resources, strengthen operations, ensure that employees and other stakeholders are working toward common goals.  The process will help Union Ridge to see its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.   It is a disciplined effort that produces fundamental decisions and actions that shape and guide what an organization is, who it serves, what it does, and why it does it, with a focus on the future.

Effective strategic planning states not only where an organization is going and the actions needed to make progress, but also how it will know if it is successful.

CEC helps schools and districts build a blueprint for system improvement by helping them understand their strengths, challenges, and opportunities with in-depth systems assessments and support for strategic planning.  https://www.cecweb.org/programs-services/
