Greater Bemidji’s Strategic Action Planning Project

The Greater Bemidji Strategic Action Plan will be used to guide organizational leadership in their planning over the next 5 years. As the world emerges from the global pandemic, the objective of this strategic planning process is to build on current organizational programming successes and incorporate new actions relative to a changing future landscape.

Methodological Approach

It is our firm belief that a successful strategic planning process is based on three primary principles: It is future oriented, data driven, and people focused.

The ‘future orientation’ is particularly important to take account of rapidly emerging social and technological trends related to global health and well-being.

The ‘data driven’ ensures the plan is built on solid research, public input, and information, and is measurable.

The ‘people focused’ is important to build support for the plan and to harness the best possible input into the strategic planning process .
