At its most basic form, planning is nothing more than figuring out how you will get from one place to another. Every day, people plan: people make a list of things to buy at the grocery store, workers determine the best route to travel to and from work each day, we plan out how to finance that new car, etc.

Strategic planning applies to developing an overarching organizational plan on how the business will get from where it is today to its vision many years in the future or at least the general direction it will head over the next several years.
