Strategic Planning

Strategic planning is very important for businesses. Healthcare is a very competitive market, and having a strategic plan make a company more competitive. It is important for employees and members of a planning committee to have a plan and goals so that everyone know what they are doing and why they are doing it. There will be no question what the ultimate goal is, and everyone will be working towards the same goal. Planning helps a company run more smoothly and keeps everyone on the same page.

Some things I learned in class about strategic planning are that it is important it is important to know what you are working towards with short term goals to keep everyone on track. Communication is key when it comes to strategic planning not only with your team, but with every team that is involved. This was demonstrated during the activity we did in class. We didn't communicate with the other groups and no one won. It is important to communicate and work together for the good of the everyone involved.
