Abstract:

Strategic planning is asking business-defining questions, finding answers that reflect the company's priorities, and then turning answers into activities. A tool for planning commonly used in public health intervention programs is a matrix called the logical framework; it has been modified here for use in strategic planning. The logical framework is a practical means of defining and appraising the relationships between activities and results.
