The document discusses the relationship between strategic planning and financial planning/budgeting. It states that strategic planning establishes the long-term goals and vision for an organization, which then informs the development of financial plans and budgets to implement the strategic objectives. The outputs from financial planning take the form of budgets. Strategic planning must start before and guide the budgeting process to ensure budgets support the achievement of strategic goals.
An explanation of what strategic planning is, who and what is involved, and why it is important to achieving organizational goals
Strategic planning is carried out at different levels within an organization. At the corporate headquarters level, strategic planning involves defining the corporate mission, establishing strategic business units, assigning resources to each unit, and assessing growth opportunities. Within each business unit, strategic planning involves defining the unit's mission, conducting a SWOT analysis, formulating goals and strategies, developing implementation programs, and providing feedback and control. The goal is for business units to have their own strategic processes that are aligned with the overall corporate mission and strategic plan.

Corporate planning involves strategic, tactical, and annual planning across an organization. Strategic planning determines the organization's long-term goals and vision over 5-10 years through analysis of the external environment. Tactical planning involves intermediate programs to achieve strategic goals, while annual planning executes strategic policies at the functional level. Effective corporate planning provides logical linkages between goals, ensures the organization is not aimless, and allows management to implement and control their vision.
Picking the right projects is key to maximizing the impact of an investment in lean six sigma. This presentation looks at how to combine best practices such as Hoshin Planning and Balanced Scorecards with Operational Excellence to create an improvement system that ensures that projects align with business objectives and drive execution of the desired results. At the beginning of a six sigma journey, many companies choose projects driven by local agendas and problems. The focus tends to be tactical. This however can be a common trap. The company has invested in training of belts, staffing the function etc and the projects acted upon are tactical. This can lead to senior executives losing interest in six sigma as they are not seeing the link into their own strategic objectives. So leaders need to be very clear in their articulation of what they are trying to achieve together with the assumptions behind this. The Hoshin X matrix concept is a very powerful tool to facilitate this and is used to capture and cascade goals and then enable tight alignment of initiatives to these goals. Once this has taken place, regular reviews need to take place and these are facilitated by bowling charts.These charts help the team to stay focused on the critical things even when day to day business tries to distract them. Hoshin is really a systematic to get everybody focused on the achievement of clear objectives. The first step requires deciding on 3 - 5 medium term breakthrough objectives. We emphasize breakthrough as these objectives should not be business as usual. These are then converted into annual breakthrough objectives and in turn, these are cascaded either directly into supporting initiatives and projects or annual improvement priorities which are supported by projects. The process creates a red thread from the medium term objectives all the way down to the actions required to deliver on them, the responsible people and the KPI's (both leading and lagging) that will be used to measure progress.
This document compares strategic planning and operational planning. Strategic planning involves long-term planning performed by top-level management to achieve overall organizational goals. Operational planning involves short-term planning performed by middle-level management to achieve departmental goals on a daily basis with more specific details. Both types of planning consider the internal and external environment but strategic planning focuses more on future conditions while operational planning focuses on current annual targets and routine activities.

This document discusses Hoshin management, which is a Japanese strategic planning process used to align organizational activities with key goals. It involves the following components: 1. Annual planning cycles where managers collaboratively set goals and metrics to measure progress. 2. Deploying goals and means for achieving them throughout the organization using a "catchball" process of discussion and analysis. 3. Monitoring metrics regularly to ensure goals are on track and make corrections if needed. 4. Checking in at the end of the cycle to evaluate weaknesses and inform planning for the next year. The purpose is to focus all employees and tasks on critical priorities and enable rapid response to changing conditions. It is compared to management
This document discusses various types of planning including strategic, operational, corporate, and functional planning. It outlines the key differences between these types of planning such as the activities covered, time periods, approaches, and importance. Strategic planning focuses on long-term goals and objectives while operational planning guides day-to-day operations. Planning allows organizations to anticipate the future, coordinate activities, improve employee morale, and achieve economies. However, planning can also be costly, time-consuming, and fail to account for rapid changes. The document concludes by discussing advantages of strategic management over strategic planning.

The document discusses economic policy adjustments needed in the euro area. It argues that countries joining a currency union must adjust policies through increased structural reforms and fiscal discipline to strengthen resilience to economic shocks. Southern European countries failed to make these adjustments, experiencing low growth as a result. It also argues that a euro area banking union is urgently needed to strengthen the currency bloc's institutions. The banking union would involve centralized bank regulation and stress testing at the euro area level.
