Course description
Strategic planning and management enable personnel to learn about various techniques and philosophies to develop a unique and effective management style. They enhance the creative ability of personnel in creating short and long-term outcomes for the company.
What is the difference between strategic planning and strategic management?
Despite the shared similarities between strategic planning and strategic management, both concepts are not entirely the same; however, there are both involved in helping a company attain its short and long-term goals. Strategic planning is a comprehensive and ongoing process that integrates the present situation of a company, its future directions, techniques to achieve those plans, and how to measure the successes and failures of a strategic plan. It is a core aspect of modern-day administration and is vital for the company’s success.
Strategic planning involves the techniques and approaches to establishing an organization’s direction. In contrast, strategic management is the general process involved in attaining that direction, from planning to implementation. Therefore, managing a strategic plan’s projects, action plans, and lifecycle is vital in achieving a company’s long-term aspirations.
What are the merits of strategic planning?
Strategic planning enables companies to prepare proactively and attend to challenges with a view to the long term. Furthermore, it allows companies to initiate influence rather than just giving reactive responses to situations. Below are some of the benefits of strategic planning:
- Helps in the development of more effective strategies using a systematic and logical approach
- Improves communication between workers and employers
- Empowers personnel working in a company
