Strategic Planning Guide

Strategic planning isn’t something you check off once and move on from; it’s a discipline to nurture and sustain over time. Much like a muscle, it develops as you work it, becoming stronger and more effective with each year of practice. With consistency, both the process and the results improve.

C12’s Strategic Planning Guide breaks the work into a clear five-step rhythm designed to be repeated annually. Whether you’re just beginning to lead planning sessions or have years of experience, this framework provides structure, tools, and thoughtful discussion prompts to help you and your team maximize the effectiveness of your strategic efforts. It’s built to support everything from a focused one-day retreat to an extended multiday session.

For Christian business leaders, stewarding a company with excellence and in alignment with Business as a Ministry principles requires planning and execution.

No matter where you are on the journey, this guide equips you to craft and carry out plans that build not only strong organizations but also Kingdom impact.
