Edition: October 2014

Introduction Strategic planning involves creating a vision, with supporting

goals that can be regularly measured and adjusted as needed. Use this guide and the accompanying worksheet as a starting point for developing your strategic plan. The guide is designed for Rotary clubs but can be adapted for districts. Complete the worksheet on your own or with other club members.

Facilitators should become familiar with these resources and prepare an agenda before conducting a strategic planning meeting. The agenda should allot the majority of time to the second and third steps of the process, which focus on the future, and less time to the current state of the club.

During the strategic planning process, keep the following tips in mind:

• Involve past, current, and incoming club leaders.• Include a wide variety of perspectives by involving the full

club or a diverse representation of your club’s membership.• Consider all ideas.• Ask an unbiased facilitator or a small group of facilitators to

run strategic planning meetings.• Reflect on how your club’s goals align with those of your

district and the priorities and goals of Rotary's Strategic Plan.• Be prepared to revisit your plan each year and adjust your

strategic priorities and annual goals as needed.

The Strategic Planning Model

The Strategic Planning Model

Create a vision for your club, with strategic priorities that will help you achieve it. Then develop annual goals that support each strategic priority.

Process

Develop a strategic plan by engaging members in the process below. Use the accompanying worksheet to record your ideas.

1. Where are we now? 2. Where do we want to be?

1. Where are we now?• Create a list of your club’s

strengths and weaknesses as of today.

• Create a list of opportunities and challenges facing your community.

When assessing your club’s current state, consult your region’s version of Be a Vibrant Club to determine what your club is already doing well and what you could do to rejuvenate it.

2. Where do we want to be?• Create a list of 5 to 10

characteristics that you would like to see in your club three to five years from now.

• Draft a one-sentence vision statement describing your club and what you want it to be in three to five years. Allow for both individual and group work on this step.

• Finalize the vision statement with the full group, and make sure that all club members support it.

https://www.rotary.org/myrotary/en/learning-reference/learn-topic/membership#bevibrantclub

3. How do we get there?• Develop strategic priorities that will help your club achieve the vision,

considering:– Strengths and weaknesses of the club Programs and missions of Rotary

International and The Rotary Foundation External environment. – Involvement of all members– Achievability in three to five years• As a group, decide on the most important strategic priorities — those

that will have the greatest impact as your club works toward the vision.• Identify annual goals that support each of the top strategic priorities.• Determine the timeline, resources, and people necessary to meet the

annual goals under each of the strategic priorities.

4. How are we doing?• Create a strategic planning team to regularly monitor progress

and recommend revisions to the plan, if needed.• Allocate sufficient resources for the plan’s implementation.• Continually evaluate all decisions to make sure they support

the plan, providing feedback to the strategic planning team on their implementation.

• Review your strategic plan annually with all club members, including the vision statement, strategic priorities, and annual goals, and revise it as needed.

• Repeat the full strategic planning process every three to five years to create a new plan or uphold the current one.

Important

Use Rotary Club Central to set annual goals and track achievements.
