choose some alternatives, these become the basis for making

basis for a company to make better decisions in the present to

a very complex process that requires a systematic approach to

organization is the what and for whom it offers, that is, all the

these on the market.

Strategic planning is a process that begins with the


establishment of organizational goals, defines strategies and policies
to achieve these goals, and develop detailed plans to ensure the
implementation of strategies to achieve the desired goals.

It is also a process to decide what type of efforts

will be carried out, and what will be done with the results. Strategic planning is
systematic in the sense that it is organized and conducted based on a
understood reality.

For most companies, strategic planning represents


a series of plans produced after a specific period of time,
during which the plans were developed. It should also be understood as
a continuous process, especially regarding the formulation of

Example:

Strategic plans tend to involve years and sometimes decades.

achieving the goal of making Europe its most profitable market in the decade
1990. For at least five years, Coca-Cola bought or built
companies in the European bottling plants. On the other hand, Coca -

French resellers, where they scheduled special promotions
using tapes, markers, and glass cleaners to ensure that

We propose some examples on how to apply social platforms.


according to the need for internal communication:

1. Convey the strategy: Visual Thinking is, due to its capacity to


projection, one of the best tools to share the strategy

leaders who can thus demonstrate greater influence and closeness with their

employees will be able to send congratulations, retransmit events
internally or launch reminders for highlighted appointments.
