Strategic Planning for Government Organizations builds your practical understanding of how federal agencies develop, implement, and manage strategic plans, including the core requirements that connect strategic plans, annual performance plans, and performance reporting. You will review how strategy is defined, walk through the major phases of planning from development to implementation to ongoing management, and connect the federal performance cycle to your day-to-day responsibilities.

You will also apply what you learn through structured analysis and hands-on exercises. Working with sample agency plans, you will assess how well a strategic plan conforms to expected components, compare approaches across agencies, and practice aligning your operational unit to agency goals using measurable objectives and clear performance measures. The course closes by addressing common public-sector barriers to implementation, so you can anticipate execution risks and improve follow-through in your organization.
