ABSTRACT
The first section of strategic systematic planning is to answer the question “where are we?” This requires a comprehensive status analysis. Status analysis essentially covers the following assessments:
• Analysis of the internal structure of the organization (analysis of the duties and authorities, performances, problems, potentials, institutional culture, human resources, technology level, etc., of the organization.)
• Environmental analysis (analysis of external conditions as well as the environment in which the organization operates and related parties-target group of the organization and parties affected negatively or positively from the organization’s activities.)
• Analysis of developments that the organization may face and be affected by in the future.
