The
An analogy that I like to use for strategic planning is a cone (also referred to as a “time cone”) because it is very visual.
Learners often want to get into detailed analysis, but it’s important to understand that a strategic plan stretches over multiple years, and things can change significantly during that time. I find the cone analogy helpful, because it brings into focus the fact that the first steps towards achieving your organization’s vision will be clear (narrow), but they get fuzzier (less-specific) the further out you go. Implementation is iterative, and each item builds upon the ones before it.
