Strategic Goals represent the desired conditions the organization has identified for itself that are critical for its future success and are most often articulated at the culmination of a strategic planning process. Based upon a comprehensive analysis of its strengths, opportunities, weaknesses, threats and environmental factors, executive leaders must derive accurate implications and logically deduce what an organization needs to do to move forward strategically to compete effectively in its markets, and then articulate that in a succinct and compelling manner. The Strategic Goals look both upward and downward, in that they communicate the future direction of the organization, tied to the overall vision, but also set the stage for designing the initiatives, operational activities and key performance indicators (KPIs) that are all set into motion based on accomplishing the Strategic Goals.

Strategy teams must help the business or organization define its Strategic Goals. The new online Strategic Goals template from Praxie helps teams represent the desired conditions the organization has identified for itself that are critical for its future success and are most often articulated at the culmination of a strategic planning process. Strategic goals can include things like improve customer satisfaction, decrease the number of product returns, increase net promoter score, reduce response time to complaints, etc. Ultimately, strategic goals help elevate the performance of the business and ideally lead to greater revenue. Get started with our Strategic Goals template.
