At previous conferences we have held sessions on developing a strategic plan. However, for far too many of our choruses, the strategic plan becomes a binder sitting on a shelf, until our next attack of “we really need to update our strategic plan!”
For a strategic plan to serve its purpose it must be:
The guidelines for each year’s operating plan
Reviewed for progress on a quarterly basis
Updated annually to reflect changes in circumstancesSlide3
Living Your Strategic Plan
The strategic plan must link to the annual operating plan and budget which must be monitored for progress on a regular basis. Each year’s results then are considered in the update of the strategic plan.Slide4

GALA Choruses’ strategic plan is contained on one 11 x 17 piece of paper. It provides general guidance on our goals and action steps for the current and two following years in each of the strategic areas we are organized in. It helps if your strategic plan follows your internal committee structure as it then becomes clear who is responsible for executing which goals/action plans.Slide6
Living Your Strategic Plan
The strategic goals and action steps for each year are developed down to a further level of detail in the annual operating plan and budget. The plan describes how we intend to achieve our goals and the budget translates those plans into dollars and cents.Slide7
Living Your Strategic Plan
Each year’s operating plan begins with a review of results from the prior year so that we maintain the continuing feedback loop of planning, taking action and assessing results.Slide8
Living Your Strategic Plan
The annual operating plan then goes on to describe the goals for the current year as they are set out in the strategic plan.Slide9

The format of the strategic plan makes it easy to continually add a new Year 3 as each year is completed.
