  implementation ( ACTION)
• aligning resources for sustainability
• putting in place a culture of continuous
  communication and examination

Why is strategic planning important?

• So you address the most pressing current problem
• So you ensure broad-based ownership of your
  initiative
• So your target constituency is consulted
• So that people understand specifically what is
  expected
• So that the destination is clear to all involved

17
Impact of Strategic Planning on program success

  everyone pushing or pulling in the same, agreed

Defining the Problem

• In our rush to solution we often fail to take the
  time to really define the problem.
• Getting consensus on the scope of the problem
  often really helps get people on board. Different
  constituents see different parts of the
  proverbial elephant.
• In the sometimes time consuming process of
  refining the problem statement into operational
  terms we can learn a lot about our team process
  and focus
