Strategic Plan
A Strategic Plan breaks a Strategy into concrete planning streams for organized execution.
What it is for
A Strategic Plan breaks a Strategy into concrete planning streams.
It is, essentially, the bridge between strategic direction and coordinated execution areas.
Use it when strategy is already defined and you need to organize it into clear lines of execution.
A Strategic Plan helps you:
- Translate direction into actionable strategic lines
- Separate priorities by focus area
- Clarify ownership before operational detail starts
- Prepare execution through structured planning
What it can contain
A Strategic Plan organizes execution at a level below Strategy.
Programs Use Programs to group initiatives that execute each strategic line.
Attachments Add supporting material, frameworks, and implementation references.
How to build a Strategic Plan
A useful Strategic Plan is specific enough to guide execution, but still high-level enough to keep strategic coherence.
- Choose the parent Strategy.
- Define a clear strategic line with a concrete intent.
- Add Programs that execute that line.
- Clarify boundaries so each Program has a distinct purpose.
How to use this in practice
Use Strategic Plans to coordinate multiple Programs without losing strategic focus.
As execution evolves, update the plan structure so Programs remain aligned with strategic priorities.
