Strategic Plans Overview

Strategic plans are the foundation of StrategiQ. They help your organization define where you’re going and how you’ll get there.

What is a Strategic Plan?

A strategic plan in StrategiQ is a structured document that contains:

  • Mission, Vision, and Values - Your organization’s purpose and guiding principles
  • Strategic Issues - Key challenges or opportunities to address
  • Orientations - Major strategic directions
  • Objectives - Specific goals you want to achieve
  • Actions - Tasks and initiatives to accomplish your objectives
  • Key Results (OKRs) - Measurable outcomes to track progress

Plan Types
