Strategic planning for clubs
Rotary International News -- 11 January 2010
Does your club have a strategic plan? Have you revisited your current plan to evaluate your progress toward your goals and your vision? The Strategic Planning Guide is available in nine languages and provides worksheets and information to help clubs set goals and develop a plan to implement them.
The process of creating a strategic plan should be run by a group of club leaders and should involve all members. The guide helps clubs create a vision of where they would like to be in three years and to develop long-range and annual goals that support that vision.
The guide also emphasizes the importance of regular evaluation of the goals and vision and adjusting the strategic plan as needed. Although this tool was created for clubs, it can be adapted for district or individual strategic planning. Clubs are encouraged to align their strategic plans with those of their districts and RI.
