Strategic planning provides BCWPA inputs for strategic thinking, which guides the actual strategy formation. This strategic plan provides our mission and strategic issues to strengthen current practices and determine the need for new, if required. The end result is BCWPA’s strategy, including a diagnosis of the environment and competitive situation, a guiding policy on what the organization intends to accomplish, and key initiatives or action plans for achieving the guiding policy.
