Strategic Plan Defines Three Things: Where you are Where you want to be How you are going to get there
Structure of the Plan Section I – Mission/Vision Statement, Values Section II – Organizational Mandates and
Stakeholders Section III – SWOT Analysis Section IV – Goals and Strategic Objectives Section V – Updating the Strategic Plan
Strategic Plan
Section I – Mission/Vision Statement, Values If you have these already, then they are important for
determining what you want your plan to be If you don’t – this should be an important part of your
strategic planning discussions Key Points:
Mission Statement is what you do Vision Statement is where you want to go
Strategic Plan
Section II – Organizational Mandates and Stakeholders Mandates define what we are required to do by law, as
an agency CSBG Act Older American’s Act OMB Circulars
Stakeholders define any group of people who have a vested interest in the success of your agency This can help you meet the requirement of Standard 3.1
in formally defining your customers
Strategic Plan
Section III – SWOT Analysis SWOT is Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and
Threats Key Points:
Strengths and Weaknesses are INTERNAL to the organization
Opportunities and Threats are EXTERNAL to the organization
This defines where you are as an agency
Strategic Plan
Section IV - Goals and Strategic Objectives There are three components to our Goals and
Strategic Objectives section Goals Strategies Metrics
Key Points: This is defining how you want to get where you want to
go

Strategies Use SWOT to identify ways to use strengths and
opportunities and avoid weaknesses and threats to achieve goals

Goal 6. Low-income people, especially vulnerable populations, achieve their potential by strengthening family and other supportive environments. Provide services that reduce barriers to stability for
vulnerable populations. Provide information and educational opportunities that
empower vulnerable populations.Metrics
Identify key outputs that we already generate internally that can be used to measure the success of each strategy
Strategic Plan
Section V – Updating the Strategic Plan Developed and incorporated timeline and sources of
information into Strategic Plan to meet requirements of Standard 2.2
Part of the updating process is the use of Needs Assessments and Focus Groups to ensure that we are engaging our constituents in determining our agency’s priorities
Operational Plans
EICAP has five main programmatic divisions: Area Agency on Aging Community Services Head Start Housing Weatherization
In the past, we had incorporated all program strategies into a single document which we called the Strategic Plan
Due to varying personalities of the Program Directors, some programs had more details and some had fewer
This was unbalanced, too much to manage and essentially became incomprehensible over time
Operational Plans
Each division looked at the Goals and Strategies developed by Senior Leadership and Board
The division determines which strategies are relevant to their programs and develops a plan for addressing those strategies
Metrics are further defined during this process
Program Directors report on their Operational Plans as part of their reports to the Board of Directors
Operational Plans
These are one of the primary tools that made our Strategic Plan a living document within our organization
Employee Engagement
Three tools to foster employee engagement in our plan

Agency Scorecard

The Executive Director designates a Scorecard Chair to ensure the annual Scorecard is based on the current Strategic Plan’s metrics
Program Directors establish benchmarks for each metric related to their programs
Quarterly, the Program Directors send in the data for their metrics to the Scorecard Chair

Directors and Leadership Team
Agency Scorecard

MetricThe second is an aggregate outcome of the
outputs as compared to the benchmarks
