As companies grow, the complexity of the organization increases. With more and more employees involved and a greater diversity of business activities, formal business planning becomes essential if companies hope to maintain the same rate of growth.

The strategic plan represents a road map, indicating the destination and outlining the directions for getting there. The plan also establishes performance measurements to gauge how the organization is progressing towards its destination.

Strategic planning involves a four-step process that includes:

1. establishing long term goals and objectives
   - where do we want to be in five years from now?
   
2. assessing the current situation - where are we now
   - strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats?
   
3. identifying the gaps between the current situation
   and the long term objectives
   
4. outlining specific action steps to bridge the gaps
