Step 1 - Defining Your Strategic Plan Objectives
Imagine that you are 3 to 5 years in the future. What do you think were likely to have been the most critical external issues that impacted on your work? Taking into account your organisational strengths and weaknesses, how effectively do you think you will have been able to respond to these external opportunities and threats?
In light of the above, what will you have achieved and how has this has impacted on your mission and stakeholders?

How did you resource this?
- Your underpinning finance and income generation strategies.
What will you need to achieve next year to make the above happen?

Reality Testing Your Charity Strategy
None of us can know the future, but to what extent were your answers above based on the best information you might readily access and how realistic were they? Ambition is commendable, but setting strategic targets you can't achieve is planning to fail.

So, a final question to ask yourself. If I'm leading my organisation, but not doing strategy, then who is?
