Yesterday we explored the strategic planning tool of the SWOT. Today we are going to look at a second strategic planning tool which you may want to bring into your discussions with your team.
The Strategic Issues Mapping Tool can be useful in facilitating, and mapping, key issues facing the team/organization at a number of levels - short term, medium term, long term or geographic - local, national, international. Each circle can be labelled with an appropriate label. Have team members brainstorm the factors facing the team at each one of these levels.
It is likely that you will have a wide number of issues at each level. In order to work with them, you will also want to prioritize them and/or identify which ones you can control.
Questions to Consider:
Are there issues here that can be added to the SWOT?
Are there things from the SWOT which should be added to the Strategic Issues Map?
How could this tool be useful in your work and/or planning?
When will you build in time to address the issues?
