A strategic plan is an overarching plan for the entire organization and is used to guide and organization to accomplish goals and defines objectives and action steps to reach goals. Typically, strategic plans span 3-5 years but in some cases, a 1- or 2-year plan is appropriate for an organization. Going beyond five years isn't advised because it becomes less feasible and less adaptable. There are many variables to consider, but this process takes approximately 3 months to complete.
