Strategic planning is the process by which an organization and its leaders define their vision for the future and set their organization's goals and objectives. The process involves establishing the sequence in which these goals must be achieved so that the organization can achieve its stated vision. Strategic planning typically represents medium to long-term goals with a maturity of three to five years, but in today's VUCA environment, the importance of strategic planning has increased and its maturities shortened.

Stakeholders can use balanced scorecards and other tools to evaluate performance against targets.
