Having an up-to-date strategic plan of clearly stated principles, mission statements, goals, strategies and measurable objectives helps every organization, project and individual that wants to make a difference in what they do. The problem is that developing and maintaining a strategic plan is often hard to do and time consuming. So most of us don't do it.

With this in mind, Wolf and Associates have been developing tools and procedures to make strategic planning easier and more efficient. For almost eight years Kevin Wolf has been field testing a "strategic options" planning process with numerous organizations and projects. This method dramatically increases outside-the-box thinking and reduces time to prioritize goals and strategies. It can be used in just about any planning process and can built from work done by others.

Because good strategic plans make the world a better place, and because we think that we can expand our business helping others use the strategic options planning method, Wolf and Associates is giving away its previous work under the Creative Commons license. Please feel free to use these documents, call us for advice and price quotes, and share with us strategic options documents you create.
