Strategic planning is essential in the process of decision making as regards where the organization sees itself in the future and how it will get there. That is why strategic planning starts with the question why. Strategic planning is a serious analysis of external factors that have an influence over the success and failure of an organization and its activities, and its objective is solving the problems of an organization and strengthening its internal teams. It contributes to the development of the capacity of an organization and its efficiency in achieving the set goals and tasks. Strategic planning enables an organization to survive when financial operation is made difficult.

A strategic plan can never be static and fixed, but rather a continuing and maximum flexible process.
