	It is important to have corporate planning/strategy lead to what is health for the business as a whole. However, if care is not exercised, strategies can lead to destructive behaviors. Consider the financial crisis; I believe much of this was from strategies that were undertaken that had a high risk. Look at Starbuck that strategically tried to grow the business until it saturated the market. Consider Toyota who worked on strategies since 2002 to become the largest auto company in the world – at any expense.	Wow
I believe that organizations need to do a better job integrating predictive scorecards, analytically/innovatively determined strategies, and business improvement so that the business as a whole benefits. What I am suggesting is a business management system that goes beyond hoshin planning methodology. If a description of what is to be done is being asked for, it is a good indication that there is not general agreement and clarification on what the function is to do. Hence, how about look into changing your department name to Enterprise System Management, which is responsible for the business management system integration as described in the article; i.e., scorecards, strategic planning, and business improvement?

Corporate planning strategy

When markets are changing rapidly and unpredictably, strategies and tactics must also be flexible. So revolutionary companies, within a broad visionary context, delegate strategic planning to business units which are able to adapt swiftly to shifting markets. Using IT, the centre controls without interfering. One of the key controls is planning itself.

The implementation, including the how and other specifics, is left in their hands. The centre is kept fully informed of progress, and may need to give it a forward push from time to time. Its main strategic function, in fact, is to close the management gap - to insist on movement from knowing what to do, and how to do it, into the absolute necessity of actually getting it done.

Set objectives – defining what the organization is going to do.
Environmental scanning
Internal appraisals of the organization's SWOT, this needs to include an assessment of the present situation as well as a portfolio of products/services and an analysis of the product/service life cycle
Analysis of existing strategies, this should determine relevance from the results of an internal/external appraisal. This may include gap analysis which will look at environmental factors
Strategic Issues defined – key factors in the development of a corporate plan which needs to be addressed by the organization
Develop new/revised strategies – revised analysis of strategic issues may mean the objectives need to change
Establish critical success factors – the achievement of objectives and strategy implementation
Preparation of operational, resource, projects plans for strategy implementation
Monitoring results – mapping against plans, taking corrective action which may mean amending objectives/strategies.
