Organisation: [Company / division name] Plan owner: [Name / role] Plan horizon: [e.g., 2026-2028] Last reviewed: [Date] Next review: [Date]
1. Vision, mission, and values
Vision (where we are going): [One sentence describing the future you are working to create, ideally with a time horizon.]
Mission (why we exist today): [One sentence: what we do, for whom, and why it matters.]
Values (how we behave):
- [Value 1] — [what it means in practice and the trade-off it implies]
- [Value 2] — [...]
- [Value 3] — [...]
2. Situation analysis (SWOT)
[Summarise where you stand internally and externally. Then write a short synthesis under the table.]
| Strengths (internal) | Weaknesses (internal) |
|---|---|
| [Strength] | [Weakness] |
| [Strength] | [Weakness] |
| Opportunities (external) | Threats (external) |
|---|---|
| [Opportunity] | [Threat] |
| [Opportunity] | [Threat] |
Synthesis: [The two or three conclusions that follow — which strengths to point at which opportunities, and which weaknesses leave you most exposed. These conclusions should drive the objectives below.]
3. Strategic objectives
[The three to five outcomes that, taken together, mean the strategy is working. Make each one an outcome, not an activity.]
- [Objective 1] — [why it matters]
- [Objective 2] — [why it matters]
- [Objective 3] — [why it matters]
4. Key initiatives
[The major efforts you will fund to move the objectives. Each maps to an objective and has one accountable owner.]

|---|---|---|---|---|
| [Initiative 1] | [Objective] | [Name] | [Amount] | [Quarter / dates] |
| [Initiative 2] | [Objective] | [Name] | [Amount] | [Timeline] |
| [Initiative 3] | [Objective] | [Name] | [Amount] | [Timeline] |
5. OKRs
[Make each objective measurable with two to four numeric key results.]
Objective 1: [Objective]
- Key result: [Numeric measure, from X to Y]
- Key result: [Numeric measure]
Objective 2: [Objective]
- Key result: [Numeric measure]
- Key result: [Numeric measure]
6. Resourcing
[The people, budget, and capabilities the plan requires, and any gaps you need to close.]
| Resource area | What the plan needs | Current state | Gap / action |
|---|---|---|---|
| People / headcount | [Need] | [Current] | [Action] |
| Budget | [Need] | [Current] | [Action] |
| Capabilities / tools | [Need] | [Current] | [Action] |
7. Review cadence
[How you will keep the plan alive.]
- Quarterly: [What you review and decide each quarter]
- Monthly: [What you check on the largest initiatives]
- Annually: [How and when you refresh the whole plan]
