The Basics of Strategic Planning, Strategic Management 

and Strategy Execution 

  

         

What is Strategic Planning?

Strategic planning is an organizational management activity that is used to set priorities, focus energy and resources, strengthen operations, ensure that employees and other stakeholders are working toward common goals, establish agreement around intended outcomes/results, and assess and adjust the organization's direction in response to a changing environment. 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 articulates not only where an organization is going and the actions needed to make progress, but also how it will know if it is successful.

What is a Strategic Plan?

A strategic plan is a document used to communicate with the organization the organizations goals, the actions needed to achieve those goals and all of the other critical elements developed during the planning exercise. 

What is Strategic Management?  What is Strategy Execution?

Strategic management is the comprehensive collection of ongoing activities and processes that organizations use to systematically coordinate and align resources and actions with mission, vision and strategy throughout an organization. Strategic management activities transform the static plan into a system that provides strategic performance feedback to decision making and enables the plan to evolve and grow as requirements and other circumstances change.  Strategy Execution is basically synonymous with Strategy Management and amounts to the systematic implementation of a strategy.

What Are the Steps in Strategic Planning & Management?

There are many different frameworks and methodologies for strategic planning and management. While there are no absolute rules regarding the right framework, most follow a similar pattern and have common attributes. Many frameworks cycle through some variation on some very basic phases: 1) analysis or assessment, where an understanding of the current internal and external environments is developed, 2) strategy formulation, where high level strategy is developed and a basic organization level strategic plan is documented 3) strategy execution, where the high level plan is translated into more operational planning and action items, and 4) evaluation or sustainment / management phase, where ongoing refinement and evaluation of performance, culture, communications, data reporting, and other strategic management issues occurs. 

What Are the Attributes of a Good Planning Framework?

The Association for Strategic Planning (ASP), a U.S.-based, non-profit professional association dedicated to advancing thought and practice in strategy development and deployment, has developed a Lead-Think-Plan-Act rubric and accompanying Body of Knowledge to capture and disseminate best practice in the field of strategic planning and management. ASP has also developed criteria for assessing strategic planning and management frameworks against the Body of Knowledge.

These criteria are used for three primary purposes:

  • Ensure that the ASP Body of Knowledge is continuously updated to include frameworks that meet these criteria.
  • Maintain a list of qualifying commercial and academic frameworks recommended for study and training, to prepare participants to sit for the three ASP certification examinations.
  • Provide a resource and “check list” for practitioners as they refine and improve their organization’s systems and for consultants as they improve their product and service offerings.

The criteria developed by the ASP are:

  1. Uses a Systems Approach that starts with the end in mind.
  2. Incorporate Change Management and Leadership Development to effectively transform an organization to high performance.
  3. Provide Actionable Performance Information to better inform decision making.
  4. Incorporate Assessment-Based Inputs of the external and internal environment, and an understanding of customers and stakeholder needs and expectations.
  5. Include Strategic Initiatives to focus attention on the most important performance improvement projects.
  6. Offer a Supporting Toolkit, including terminology, concepts, steps, tools, and techniques that are flexible and scalable.
  7. Align Strategy and Culture, with a focus on results and the drivers of results.
  8. Integrate Existing Organization Systems and Align the Organization Around Strategy.
  9. Be Simple to Administer, Clear to Understand and Direct, and Deliver Practical Benefits Over the Long-Term.
  10. Incorporate Learning and Feedback, to Promote Continuous Long-term Improvement.

There are numerous strategic planning and management frameworks that meet these criteria, such as the Institute's Nine Steps to Success.  For more information about the criteria, please visit the ASP website.

- 편집하는 말,   

      

대한민국 총리가 기어코 사퇴를 한다. 대통령은 남미로 해외출장 중이라 하고... 

가지 말라고 했는데도 갔어, 그런데 오늘은 또 뭐냐? 뜸금없는 서울시 교육감 선거법 위반! 

음... 이게 현주소라면, 제일 먼저 짚어볼 건 샘플링이 아닌 전수검사다. 다 죽이든 말든, 

그래야 대한민국 정치가 산다. 변함없는 진리다. 

 

여당은 기득권의 수호를 위해, 야당은 여당 흠집내기에 바쁘다 하면... 

정작 대한민국의 미래는 누구 것이냐를 고민해봐야 한다. 당연히 국민들의 몫, 

그런데 이 대의민주주의는 영 제 기능을 하지 못하고 있구나... 그게 가장 큰 고민. 

필요할까?...... 그저 세비가 받아먹는 기생충들이라면, 부끄럽지 아니한가... 

 

그게 고민이구나, 

 

아무튼, 

내 일상의 한편. 

이른바 "전략/기획"이라는 타이틀을 굳이 왜 '은퇴'했었을까?... 오늘 모처럼 그 생각을 했지, 

체력? 그렇지... 첫번째 근본 문제는 바로 그거, 가족 또 개인 또 지인들... 내 한계다. 

그걸 존중해야지, 무시할 줄 모르는 게 내 직장인생이라면... 어쩔 수 없는 게 아닐까? 

 

- 문득 그런 생각이 든 오늘 하루...
