- I don’t even think of it as a strategy. It’s me in my element; it’s my forte. Me being with all the mandem on the ends, spitting to an old school grime riddim, is me in my element; that’s when I feel I’m at my best. –Stormzy
- My exit strategy from pro wrestling wasn’t carved in stone. I retired because of a few neck issues, some neurological issues. –Stone Cold Steve Austin

Inspiring Quotes about Strategic Planning
by Funding For Good | Feb 27, 2023 | Strategic Planning | 0 comments
When your organization is getting started with a strategic planning process, “inspiring” might not be the first word that comes to mind. But in Funding for Good’s work with dozens of organizations, we’ve found that inspiration is exactly what the strategic planning process provides. So to help inspire you, we’ve gathered some of our favorite quotes about strategic planning.
First though, if you’re struggling to get your planning process started, our guides on to How to Write a Strategic Planning RFP and How to Select and Work with a Strategic Planning Consultant can save you time and energy.
Quotes about the Value of Visioning in Strategic Planning
At the core of strategic planning is carving out time to create a vision for the future. Instead of just looking one year out, organizations often look 3, 5, or sometimes even 10 years ahead. Organizations map where they want to be, what they want to accomplish, and how they’re going to achieve those goals.
As these quotes suggest, that long-range goal-setting process often unlocks insights and inspiration and can help re-energize your team.
“Strategic planning is worthless – unless there is first a strategic vision.” John Naisbitt
“If you don’t know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else.” Yogi Berra
“A goal should scare you a little and excite you A LOT.” Joe Vitale
“A goal is a dream with a deadline.” Ken Blanchard
Quotes about the Strategic Planning Process
Here at Funding for Good, we think a lot about the strategic planning process. And we’re always working to ensure our approach meets each client’s unique needs. In our client work, our own favorite saying is:
“Strategic planning is a process, not a product.” Funding for Good
Leaders often find this approach helpful. It upends the idea that the goal of a strategic planning process is a single written document. Yes, a written plan is a key outcome. But just as important is aligning your stakeholders around a shared vision. The Harvard Business School and President Dwight D. Eisenhower both agree:
“Most people think of strategy as an event, but that’s not the way the world works.” Harvard Business School Professor Clayton Christensen
“Plans are worthless, but planning is everything.” President Dwight D. Eisenhower
Quotes that Reveal Unexpected Benefits of Strategic Planning
If you’re a leader who is perpetually running from one crisis to the next, these quotes illustrate how strategic planning can save you time in the long run.
“The essence of strategy is choosing what not to do.” Michael Porter
“An hour of planning can save you 10 hours of doing.” Dale Carnegie
The prioritization that strategic planning entails also comes in handy when you’re working to accomplish ambitious goals. Especially since none of us have enough time to do everything.
“To achieve great things, two things are needed: a plan, and not quite enough time.” Leonard Bernstein
Quotes about the Power of Fresh Perspectives
Another valuable part of the strategic planning process is how it creates a structured opportunity to bring in a range of perspectives. As a leader, you might hear voices and ideas you haven’t previously had the time or opportunity to consider. In our experience, this leads to a stronger plan and a greater chance of successful implementation. The experts agree.
“If you’re crafting a strategic plan for your organization and know which strategy you prefer, enlist others with differing views and opinions to help look for information that either proves or disproves the idea.” Harvard Business School
“If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn’t thinking.” George S. Patton
Finally, it can be helpful to remember that you don’t have to accomplish all your strategic goals tomorrow. Indeed, as Vincent van Gogh reminds us:
“Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.” Vincent van Gogh
We hope you’re as inspired as we are to get working on strategic planning!

45. “No goal commitment equals no performance, whatever else you try”
46. “We tend to think that, in a traditional organisation, people are producing results because management wants results, but the essence of a high-quality organisation is people producing results because they want the results. It’s puzzling we find that hard to understand, that if people are really enjoying, they’ll innovate, they’ll take risks, they’ll have trust with one another because they are really committed to what they’re doing and it’s fun” — Peter Senge

Strategy Execution Quote #52. “In many organisations, budget is king. It’s like the Amazon, the source of life. The strategy process is more like a small stream that meanders slowly through the organisation (and if you’re unlucky, the water doesn’t flow at all and starts to smell).”
Strategy Execution Quote #53 . “A strategy, even a great one, doesn’t implement itself”
Strategy Execution Quote #54. “Just because someone said yes to you doesn’t mean something is going to happen. Most of the yeses we get are noes in disguise”
Strategy Execution Quote #55 . “Don’t measure your performance by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished within your capabilities”

Strategy Quotes
Standart top banner.
The essence of strategy is choosing what not to do.
You've got to think about big things while you're doing small things, so that all the small things go in the right direction.
Strategy is a commodity, execution is an art.
Sound strategy starts with having the right goal
In real life, strategy is actually very straightforward. You pick a general direction and implement like hell.
Strategy is not the consequence of planning, but the opposite: its starting point.
Strategy is about setting yourself apart from the competition. It's not a matter of being better at what you do - it's a matter of being different at what you do.
Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without the strategy.
You have to be fast on your feet and adaptive or else a strategy is useless.
Perception is strong and sight weak. In strategy it is important to see distant things as if they were close and to take a distanced view of close things.
Each generation has to stand up for democracy. It can't take anything for granted and may have to fight fundamental battles anew.
Leaders establish the vision for the future and set the strategy for getting there; they cause change. They motivate and inspire others to go in the right direction and they, along with everyone else, sacrifice to get there.
Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.
The future influences the present just as much as the past.
Strategy is a pattern in a stream of decisions
I believe that when people say something is impossible, it's only impossible because a strategy has not been found yet.
In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.
You can talk all you want about having a clear purpose and strategy for your life, but ultimately this means nothing if you are not investing the resources you have in a way that is consistent with your strategy. In the end, a strategy is nothing but good intentions unless it's effectively implemented.
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
Fitting in is a short-term strategy that gets you nowhere. Standing out is a long-term strategy that takes guts and produces results.
If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten.
However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results.
Change is not a destination, just as hope is not a strategy.
Finally, strategy must have continuity. It can't be constantly reinvented.
