INTRODUCTION

Over the past several months members of the Corporation X corporate staff and Directors have

updated our strategic plan to include the next three fiscal years—FY 2004, FY 2005 and FY

2006. We undertook this task in order to:

• Develop a shared vision of where we want to go during the next three years;

• Create a shared understanding for all directors and staff regarding the reason Corporation X.

exists, what we want to achieve, and how we will go about achieving it; and

• Promote unity and the commitment to move forward together to create our future.

In revising this plan, we again asked ourselves six simple questions:

• Why are we in business?

• How do we do business?

• Where are we now?

• Where do we want to be?

• How can we get there?

• How will we know we've arrived?

We have now thoroughly answered these questions. By doing so, we are now prepared to:

• Chart a steady course in the turbulent waters of today’s healthcare;

• Be of even greater service to our community through the improvement and expansion of our

services;

• Provide more opportunities for personal and professional growth and advancement for our

entire staff

• Create alliances with other healthcare providers that will benefit us and our community;

• Set the framework for expanding our services; and

• Create the financial stability and growth that is required in order to continue and expand our

mission.

It is our belief that a firm commitment to this strategic plan will support us to create the future

we envision—for the people we serve, for our organization and for ourselves.

Page 4: Sample Strategic Plan

Page 4

OVERVIEW

Below is an overview of the process undertaken to create this strategic plan.

WHY ARE WE IN BUSINESS?

We answered this question by determining our vision and reviewing our mission.

• Vision—the future position and value of the organization.

• Mission—the organization and its purpose:

o Who we are,

o Who we serve,

o What services we offer, and

o How we make them available.

HOW DO WE DO BUSINESS?

In other words, what standards will we apply in our dealings with one another, patients,

specialists, suppliers, the community-at-large, etc.?

• Values—the bases on which we want decisions to be made and actions to be taken.

• Culture—traditions, ethics, and other standards that influence the way things are

accomplished in the organization.

WHERE ARE WE NOW?

An environmental assessment identified factors that can impact our mission. In

completing this assessment, we examined our:

• Strengths,

• Weaknesses,

• Opportunities,

Page 5: Sample Strategic Plan

Page 5

• Threats, and

• Competition.

WHERE DO WE WANT TO BE?

In this section of the strategic plan, we determined the key areas that must be addressed

in order to achieve our vision for Corporation X This process involved establishing:

• Gap analysis—determining the difference between where we are and where we want

to be.

• Key results areas—the areas in which progress must be made in order to bring about

the vision.

• Goals—what will be accomplished in each key result area.

HOW CAN WE GET THERE?

In order to achieve our goals in each key results area, we must develop action plans and,

then, implement these plans.

• Action plans—Specific action plans to achieve our goals—the right people doing the

right things at the right time in the right way for the right reasons.

• Resources—People, money, time, facilities, technology, etc. that will be needed to

implement the action plans

HOW WILL WE KNOW WE'VE ARRIVED?

We must be able to measure our efforts and course correct when necessary.

• Measurements of success—How we will measure the effectiveness of our efforts.

• Plan revisions—Re-charting our course when necessary.

STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS

1. Strategic Planning Leadership Group meets annually in early summer to revise and

update strategic plan and extend it out an additional year

a. Review vision to determine if it still fits

b. Review gap between current reality and vision to affirm gaps that have been

closed and determine if any further gaps exist that were not recognized initially

c. Each key result area team reviews their existing goals and determines need to

revise or update. Create team goals for year being added to strategic plan

d. Each key result team performs detailed cost analysis for goals for coming fiscal

year that require it along with ROI and cost comparisons for various options

2. Strategic Planning Leadership Group and Corporate Staff approve revised strategic plan

with updated goals

3. If necessary, Board approval of strategic plan is obtained

4. Vice President assigns goals to appropriate Director or other Staff Member in his/her

organization

5. Director/Staff Member creates action plan and budget for goal

6. VP and Director incorporate goal and action plan expenses and revenue into operating

and capital budgets for upcoming fiscal year

7. Strategic Planning Leadership group tracks results of goal achievement on quarterly basis

via presentations by key result area teams

8. Strategic Planning Leadership Group begins process anew annually prior to the budgeting

process.
