Strategic planning is an organization's process of defining its stategy, or direction, and making decisions on allocating its resources to pursue this strategy, including its capital and people. There are several techniques and methods that can be utilized in strategic planning depending upon the organization's goals, most notably SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis. Stategic planning is the formal consideration of an organization's future course, dealing with one or more of the following: What do we do?, For whom do we do it?, How do we excel? This is a prospective plan, looking ahead some number of years, based upon past performance and experience, current conditions, and prospective trends, integrating the mission and vision of the organization. The resulting plan identifies the goals of the organization and actions to achieve those goals.
