Furthermore, a good strategic plan will also set out a series of measurable objectives to ensure that the plan can be effectively and appropriately monitored.  \nThe extent of the strategic document is less relevant than how the organisation, staff and stakeholders engage with the plan and its elements.  \nIt is useful to begin by identifying how the plan is to be used:  \n• How will it be communicated internally?  \n• Will it be central to all decision making and how the organisation operates?  \n• Will it form part of employee/volunteer induction plans and subsequently performance metrics/reviews?  \n• Will it be available externally, for example on the organisational website, for all member/stakeholder access?  \n• Will it be used to show that the board has thought about the direction of the organisation and how its goals will be achieved?  \n• Will it be used to inform external stakeholders that the organisation is willing to be transparent and accountable?  \n• Will it be used to demonstrate there is a planning process within the organisation, which underpins good governance?  \nHow an organisation anticipates using the strategic plan will inform the best way to present information and what level of detail to include.  \n\n| Plan structure | Questions that will inform the plan |\n| --- | --- |\n| Purpose or mission | Why does the organisation exist? In what business is the organisation in?\u003Cbr>This statement needs to be in line with the organisation’s constitution.\u003Cbr>It is useful to keep this statement brief and high level, as more detail is added further down the strategy hierarchy.\u003Cbr>Examples:\u003Cbr>“To reduce the impact of all cancers for all Victorians.”Cancer Council Victoria, SP 2013-2016\u003Cbr>“To reduce premature death and suffering from heart, stroke and blood vessel disease.\"Heart Foundation, SP 2013-2017\u003Cbr>“To achieve success with Australian teams, to grow the game of hockey in Australia,to govern the game of hockey in Australia.”\u003Cbr>Hockey Australia, SP 2014-2018\u003Cbr>“Our mission is to stop the degradation of the planet's natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature, by:\u003Cbr>• conserving the world’s biological diversity\u003Cbr>• ensuring that the use of renewable natural resources is sustainable\u003Cbr>• promoting the reduction of pollution and wasteful consumption.”World Wildlife Fund, [www.wwf.org.au](www.wwf.org.au) |\n| Vision | What does the organisation want? What does the organisation want to look like in three to five years? How will the organisation achieve its purpose?\u003Cbr>Examples:\u003Cbr>“Our vision for this strategic plan will be achieved by:\u003Cbr>• Consistent Australian team performance and team success at 14 benchmark events.\u003Cbr>• Stronger business model by sustained profits through diversified revenue.\u003Cbr>• Increased participation across all levels of hockey.\u003Cbr>• Highest standard of governance across whole of sport.”\u003Cbr>Hockey Australia, SP 2014-2018\u003Cbr>“To be an organisation that excels in the provision of innovative, effective and efficient benevolent services, care and accommodation for the aged.”\u003Cbr>Goodwin Aged Care, SP 2014-2020 |\n| Values or guiding principles | What are the key values that will underpin every part of the organisation? In order for an organisation to engage with its values/guiding principles, it’s important to limit the values to only three to four.\u003Cbr>Values that are typically used include:\u003Cbr>Honesty, transparency, accountable, ethical, evidence-based, collaborative, leadership, supportive, integrity, compassion, excellence, empowerment, multicultural, apolitical. |\n\nPlan structure Questions that will inform the plan  \nStrategic priorities or aspirational goals  \nWhat are the one to three aspirational goals that the organisation wants to achieve?
