Strategic Planning
The next level of planning that The Enfys Acumen encourages you and your organisation or business to accomplish is what we call Strategic Planning. At this stage, you should be thinking in more depth about your goals and turn them into aims, objectives and outcomes.
- Aims are the changes you are trying to achieve
- Objectives describe the planned activities by which you are going to achieve your aims
- Outcomes are all the changes, benefits, learning or other effects that happen as a result of your actions in achieving your aims and objectives
You will find that you are more likely to achieve your aims and objectives if you set in place ways for measurement – Outcome Indicators. Setting outcome indicators in this way is far more positive and realistic for everyone concerned and whatever the outcome, you will realise that there is no such thing as failure only feedback or results.
Strategic Planning does require more time and as you work through our model, you will find that certain aims and objectives will need reviewing so that more meaningful outcomes can be stated. We found that the most relevant people to involve in this exercise are the managers involved in strategic issues and who should have a strong overview of what the business or organisation is set up to achieve.
“When we are motivated by goals that have deep meaning, by dreams that need completion, by pure love that needs expressing, then we truly love life”
