The Strategic Planning Template is available for download from the World Wide Web in two formats. It does not matter which format you use.

Go to the template on the Web. Click on the link and save the template to your floppy disk or hard disk on your computer. Then open the template in your word processor.

Read the instructions that are on the template. Then select and replace the instruction with your own text. The template only helps you with the layout and presentation of your strategic plan. The best presented and laid out plan is a waste of time if it is not practical, or not participatory. If you plan does not reflect what the people who will be affected by it want, and if it cannot be implemented effectively, then it is a waste of time.
