INTRODUCTION

Strategic Planning as a concept


• Strategic Planning is a systematic process of
translating an institution’s vision into broadly
defined objectives and a sequence of actions to
achieve them.
• It determines where an organization is going
over the next year or more, how it's going to
get there and how it will know if it got there or
not.
INTRODUCTION……..

Strategic planning should answer the following


questions:
• Why does an institution exist?
• What are its objectives?
• What do its clients expect?
• How will it measure its own performance?
• How will it use this information to make
improvements?
RATIONALE

• To improve performance;
• To create more relevant institutional
structures;
• To increase levels of institutional,
departmental, and individual accountability;
• To improve transparency and communication
between management, employees and
stakeholders;
• To establish priorities for efficient and
effective resource allocation
RELATIONSHIP OF SP WITH MTEF

• SP provides logic for existence of an institution


and develops objectives, targets, strategies
and key performance indicators.
• MTEF translates objectives and targets
developed in the SP into activities, inputs and
costing.
PROCESSES IN PREPARING SP

Situational Analysis
• Assess the current situation of an institution
by taking a hard look at itself on:
Where it came from? Where is it now?
Where is it going and what are its choices?
• A Situation Analysis establishes critical issues,
to be used later during the development of
Mission, Vision, Objectives, and Targets.
Situational Analysis ……….
Approaches to a Situation Analysis
• Brainstorming
• Stakeholders analysis
• Opportunities and Obstacles to Development (O & OD)
• SWOC- Analysis
• Political, Economical, Sociological and Technological Analysis (PEST)
• Literature Review
• Performance Review
• Service Delivery Survey
• Self Assessments
• Problem Tree or Logic Model
N.B: The most common approaches are:
Stakeholders analysis ,SWOC analysis and
Performance Review.

Analysis of critical issues
During the process of scanning of institution’s
environment;
• Critical issues should be identified to guide the
planning process and resource allocation.
• These are areas that require institution close
attention during medium term operations
Developing VISION statement

Definition
• A Vision Statement describes where the
institution intends to be in the future. It
represents a shared sense of direction and
incorporates the core business of the
institution.
• It describes what the institution believes in
Developing VISION statement.........

What should a Good Vision Look like?


A good vision statement should:
• Provide a clear sense of direction
• Be inspirational and capture the imagination
of the staff
• Be short and easily internalized and recalled
by staff
Developing VISION statement.......

How to develop a vision


Should be developed in a participatory way by:
• Reviewing key mandates and statutory
requirements;
• Defining core business of an institution;
• Identifying key stakeholders’ needs;
Using the checklist above expand the core business and
stakeholders needs into a draft Vision statement.
Review the checklist to ensure the draft Vision statement
is correct, make final adjustments, and get the agreement
of participants.
Example of Vision

To be the centre of excellence in managing


macro-economy and financial systems for
enhancing economic growth
Developing MISSION statement
• Mission is a statement that specifies an
organization’s purpose or “reason for being.” The
mission should capture the essence of who the
center is, what the center does, and for whom.
• The Mission Statement brings the institution into
focus.
• It explains why the institution exists and tells
what it does.
• The Mission Statement articulates the direction
and scope of work of the institution
Developing MISSION statement ......

Qualities of Good Mission Statement


A good Mission Statement should:
Describe what the institution does, who it serves
and what makes the institution unique
Be derived from and cover all Government
mandates, instruments and establishing
legislation.
Developing MISSION statement.......

Clearly differentiate the institution from other


institutions;
Avoids being too narrow so as to allow room for
change
Rely on action words.
Be short and be easily internalized and recalled by
staff
Developing MISSION statement.......

How to develop a mission statement


Mission Statements should be developed in a
participatory manner. When developing Mission
Statements, the institution should follow all
processes as indicated in the development of
Vision Statement.
Example of Mission Statement

Promoting economic growth and macro-


economic stability through prudent economic
and financial policies.
Developing Core Values

• Core values are commitments of an institution


that should not be violated. Expresses "who we
are as an institution" and what principles or
qualities should infuse all practices and activities
within the institution.
• Values are critically important to organizations
because those who have the same value systems,
or core values, tend to succeed within the
organization, while those who do not share that
set of values generally do not succeed.

Prohibiting violation
Developing Core Values…….
Example of Core values
• Innovation • Transparency
• Professionalism • Accountability
• Customer focused • Effective communication
• Efficiency • Commitment
• Integrity • Result focused
• Teamwork
• Timely service delivery
• Service oriented

NB: After developing core values the next step in SP is


formation of Objectives and related Targets.
Developing Strategies

Strategies are broad statements about how


something is to be done.
• They describe how the institution will
achieve its objectives; they link Objectives to
Targets.
• Each Target will have its own set of unique
strategies which describe the broad approach
to effect change.
Developing Strategies …..

• Strategies may be of two general categories:


some are contained in the FYDP II while
others are derived independently by the
institution.
• A single strategy may result in the derivation
of several targets.
Developing Key Performance Indicators

Performance indicators help an institution to measure its


achievements against set targets. Can be set at
objective, target and activity level
The following steps should be undertaken:-
 Where possible, develop a list of key indicators to track
objectives. In many cases, objectives may not be easily
monitored through routine data
 Establish Baseline values. Baseline values are the most
recent historical value of the indicator.
 Set Indicator target values for each quarter.
 Establish mechanism for collecting data/information.
NB: SMART targets can serve as indicators
Developing Key Performance Indicators ……...

Examples of Performance Indicators:


• Number of customers satisfied with MoFP
service.
• Number of kilometres improved/ maintained.
• Number of Stakeholders participating in policy
making
• Number of villages with cultural tourism
• Number of clients (PLHIV, Widows and
Widowers) served
Formulate performance Indicators under each
target
