What Are Tactical Plans? Why Are They Important?

In many organizations, the Strategic plan is created and then not supported by tactical roadmaps.

I know the word tactical sounds a bit scary and maybe overbearing but let me explain what I mean by it.

Tactical roadmaps are plans that ultimately enable the strategic plan to be achieved through daily operations.  These plans are the practical and regular actions of the next 30, 90, and 365 days that create measurable success towards your organization’s goals. They help us to drive net income to the bottom line and recognize problems as they arise so we can pivot with agility and minimal missional impact. These plans also serve as the starting point of your organization’s budgets and cash flow projections.

Here are some examples of the types of plans we help clients develop and benchmark against.  The monthly, quarterly, and annual results serve as benchmarks or indicators to lead decision-making.

From these tactical plans flow our organization budgets and cash flow, which are key tools for THRIVING in our community and protecting our businesses from threats!
