Strategic Planning: Dioceses/Regions

What Makes a
Successful Plan?

A diocesan-wide or regional strategic plan should be visionary, long-range, comprehensive, realistic and integrated.  A good strategic plan articulates a desired future, addresses long-range issues, is based on objective data, results in high ownership and lays a foundation for achieving future goals.
