▪ Alice: Which way should I go?
▪ Cheshire Cat: That depends on where you are going.
▪ Alice: I don’t know where I’m going.
▪ Cheshire Cat: Then it doesn’t matter which way you go.
Lewis Carroll 1892 ▪ Through the Looking Glass
What is it…..a Strategic Plan

Why…………do organizations have SP

▪ It allows the organization to be proactive rather than reactive.
▪ It allows the organization to be in charge of its own destiny.
