The Strategic Plan is itemized in detail with priorities and implementation timing. It is important to create a strategic process, not a tactical process.

It is important to remember that the strategic process is a dynamic and fluid process. Changes will occur during the implementation of this plan to accommodate the circumstances acting upon the organization.
