Strategic Management & Planning in Health & Human Services
From your high school science classes you learned about Newton’s law of inertia where an object
at rest wants to stay at rest and an object in motion wants to stay in motion unless some force is
exerted upon it. It can be difficult to “start the ball rolling” but once it is in motion, it is much
easier to maintain the momentum. In the realm of strategic planning, the results of the strategic
planning efforts need to be continually reinforced to prevent the momentum ending. This module
examines the potential barriers that would hinder ongoing implementation efforts and strategies
for integrating the plan into everyday activities where the momentum may be sustained and
monitored. One of these strategies that is discussed at length is having an annual strategic plan
update.
