Abstract
This project identifies what strategic planning is, the benefits of planning, how to develop a strategic plan, what to include in the plan, and how to implement a strategic plan. The subject of this project was chosen to learn how to develop a strategic plan for an organization. The Hudson Fire Department has never had a strategic plan, and the Department believed they would benefit from having one. Many organizations hire consultants to develop their plans. The Department does not have money in the budget for this, and the Department believes they can develop a plan on their own. This paper develops a framework for a strategic plan based on the literature review. Survey Monkey was used to conduct a voluntary anonymous survey Department staff in the form of a SWOT/A analysis of the organization. The information garnered from this survey laid the foundation to develop the goals and objective for the Department’s strategic plan.
