Answer to Question 1

The purpose of a strategic plan is twofold. First, it is important that everyone has the same idea or
vision, and second, a good plan can help ensure that the needed resources are available to carry out the
initiatives that have been identified as important to the unit or agency.

The pivotal value of strategic planning is that it requires an organization to focus on its raison d'tre,
its mission, and to test how its operations are contributing to accomplishing that mission.
