ABSTRACT

The Organizational Master Plan is the combination and alignment of an organization’s Business Plan, Strategic Business Plan, Strategic Improvement Plan, Strategic Plan, and Annual Operating Plan. The Organizational Master Plan combines several major management plans together into a homogeneous, agreed-to, focused approach to man- aging the organization’s culture, business, and operations. The Organizational Master Plan must combine all of the major planning processes together and, at the same time, ensure they are customer focused. The Business Plan’s primary objective is to inform external investors. It is prepared early in the organization’s development cycle and it is often used to provide potential investors with information related to the organization and its management. There has been a lot of leading-edge thinking and many definitions put forth of how various areas of organizational strategy approaches might be viewed in the short and long term, and how they might be classified.
