FORMAL PLANNING TOOLS
• There are three formal planning tools that provide the alignment and integrated approach that links the Sustaining Agenda to the Change Agenda:
• The Strategic Plan
• Heart of RBSM and the core kernel from which the other planning tools are derived.
• The strategic plan is reviewed on a periodic basis and provides a long term view of the core organizational business strategy.
• Provides strategic objectives, initiatives and key activities and strategic performance measures.
• The Operational Plan
• Is the near term projects plan founded on the strategic objectives, initiatives and key activities and defines one year activities, targets and short term results that contribute to the strategic outcomes.
• The 90 Day Planner
• Is designed to link individual and team activities to the operational plan. It has a quarterly feedback loop allowing for real time response to the business environment. It is highly project oriented and driven.
• All three tools use input from the CPMS to guide decisions and actions.
