The Strategic Plan

We have a documented strategic plan. The last update was less than 12 months ago          
Our strategic plan shows clearly where we want to be in 3 - 5 years time ... our vision          
It shows where we are now          
It shows the critical projects we have to implement to move from where we are now to where we want to be          
Our strategic plan was developed by the executive management team          

Implementation

Our strategic plan has been communicated successfully to all relevant stakeholders          
The critical projects have been rigorously defined          
We review the progress of these projects monthly or quarterly          
All our critical projects have completed successfully or are on-track to do so          
We are confident that we will achieve our vision when all the critical projects have completed successfully
