Strategic Planning Questionnaire

This Questionnaire is provided as a guide for identifying and addressing the strategic issues facing the organization. This input will be used to prepare for a Strategic Planning Session. Your responses will be combined with other respondents and presented to the planning team before the planning session. Your individual answers will be kept confidential.

The first six boxes request some basic background information about you and your association with the organization. Please remember to select the company or organization from the drop-down box in item 2. The ID Code is only used to validate that the questionnaire was not completed improperly by someone else. If your request did not include an ID Code, you may skip box 6.

When completing the remaining portions of the questionnaire, you may add as many items as you like. The boxes will scroll to allow additional information. You may type over your responses if you would like to change your answers. For best results, place each Strength, Weakness, etc, on a separate line. Be sure to click the "Submit" button when you are satisfied with your responses. Once you have submitted your questionnaire you may not change your responses. You should complete and submit your questionnaire only one time.  If you have any questions or problems with this questionnaire, you may contact us directly for assistance.
