It presents strategic planning as a systems approach that sets priorities, creates direction, and establishes a framework for decisions and performance measurement.

Planning requires the union to take a systems approach with an emphasis on action rather than reaction.\nThe best way to predict the future is to create it and strategic planning is participating in the creation of the future.\nWhat is strategic planning?\nSubstantive definition: A systematic method for making decisions about a union’s future.\nProcess definition: A systematic method for engaging all decision-makers in the union in understanding what is required for the future.\nWhat strategic planning is not\nJust process, no substance\nJust substance, no process\nMegatrends\nEndless crafting of a mission statement\nStrategic planning process 5 basic steps\nMission/vision/values/objectives\nAssess the current environment (Strengths/\nWeaknesses, Opportunities/Threats – SWOT).\nDevelop priorities and goals\nAction plan\nEvaluate\n1. Mission/vision/values\nThe mission is the motivating purpose behind your entire plan.\nIt’s tempting to skip this step and view the real core of strategic planning as defining a plan and creating action steps for executing the plan. However, the real challenge that unions face often isn’t the lack of a good plan – but motivating members to participate in the plan!\nWhy does our union matter at this moment in time?\nWhat does the union want to accomplish in the broadest sense?  And why does this matter not only to members but to the community at large?\n1. Mission/vision/value\nValues consist of opinions about what is right, fair, or just.  They describe the ideas that matter most to people, the things that they will make sacrifices for in order to obtain them.\nBeliefs are the basic assumptions on which we base decisions.  They include our assumptions about people, power, what makes things happen, etc.\nTogether values and beliefs determine the goals towards which the organisation should be directed, an","cbCaivmHJkbtL2Ib","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivmHJkbtL2Ib","pptx",1963626,33,"English","# Strategic planning\n## Strategic planning – a road map\n## Strategic planning – beyond “reacting”\n## Strategic planning charts a course\n## Why make strategic plans?\n## What is strategic planning?\n## What strategic planning is not\n## Strategic planning process 5 basic steps\n## Mission/vision/values/objectives\n## Assess the current environment (SWOT)","[{\"question\":\"Why do unions need strategic plans instead of only reacting to events?\",\"answer\":\"Strategic planning helps unions look beyond routine activities and analyse their situation to build long-range goals and specific steps.
