...Section 1 – Understand the process of strategic planning Word count: 653 To construct a strategic plan an organisation would have to define its objectives, missions, visions, goals and core competencies. I will now go through explaining each of these. The strategic vision is a long term, broad statement which should portray an image of what the business wants to create or become, not what the company is now. Whilst similar business types might have similar mission statements, vision statements should be very different. An example for a business intelligence company would be ‘Be the leading independent consultative business intelligence practice in the UK’. The strategic mission part of the strategic plan should describe what the business does, not be too long and be easy to remember, an example for a business intelligence company would be ‘Provide businesses with exceptional answers to critical questions through data insight’. Goals are statements about the future of the business and represent the aspirations for it, they are similar to objectives but not all goals can be measured. An example would be to maintain partnerships with leading software vendors to ensure that the business stays on the leading edge of technological advances (Technological goal). Strategic objectives help translate organisational missions and visions into a more specific plan. They can be long-term, medium-term or short-term and must be measurable to gauge the success or failure of the ...
