Community Strategic Planning

This section contains an overview of Community Strategic Planning. It provides some examples of techniques that can be applied at key initial stages and suggestions for where to find more specific tools and more detailed "how-to" publications.

The basic principles outlined here will be of most use to those who are relatively inexperienced with community strategic planning. Examples of techniques are provided so as to stimulate further independent exploration. Links are provided throughout to aid in that exploration.

This information is not a single authoritative source on strategic planning, nor does it present a prescriptive step-by-step recipe that would be appropriate for all local circumstances.
