Intrafocus introduces a Strategic Plan Template

Intrafocus has introduced a Strategic Plan Template that can vastly improve the process of writing a strategy. Writing a strategy can be a daunting task. External factors could change everything, even for an established organisation.

The Intrafocus Strategic Plan Template follows a well established strategic process that will take the user through seven steps and ensure all of the bases are covered. The seven-step strategic planning process (SPP) is based on the principles of the tried and tested Balanced Scorecard Methodology and include:

1. Foundation - setting or verifying a vision and purpose

2. Assessment - looking at all of the internal and external influencing factors

3. Objectives - creating a set of objectives based on strategic priorities

4. Measures - how to measure objectives with key performance indicators (KPIs)

5. Projects - the projects that need to be put in place to drive the objectives

6. Communication - the best way to communicate or cascade your strategy

7. Automation - how to automate the process and keep your strategy alive

"Everyone knows how to write a great strategy," says Clive Keyte, Director at Intrafocus "but implementing the strategy and ensuring success is altogether a different thing. You need to attend to your strategy every day; it is a living breathing business process. That is where this template can help."

The template is a cloud-based tool consisting of modules that map to the seven-step process. For each module, there is an extensive help facility that includes real-world examples. The user can start at the beginning and work their way through, or start in the middle and work backwards or forwards. At any stage, an editable document can be printed that includes all of the step headings.
