Strategic Planning in Indian Country

Organizations conduct planning to provide clear and strategic direction; to articulate current and future needs and to match the commitment of resources with the strategic direction of the organization.  Strategic Planning helps an organization develop and define its Vision and Mission Statements – and helps define how to accomplish them.  It is a process by which organizations assess their current situation and capabilities.  Funding agencies look to a tribal organization’s Strategic Plan when considering funding proposals. Some tribal governments use Strategic Plans as a guide in developing annual budgets. There are a variety of modern perspectives, models and approaches in Strategic Planning but the way a plan is developed depends on the organization’s leadership, the culture of the organization, the complexity, size and the environment of the organization.  KIVA’s “Strategic Planning in Indian Country” focuses on capturing the traditional values and beliefs of the tribal organization. This feature in tribal Strategic Planning is very different from planning for non-tribal organizations. This involves a look back to the traditional knowledge, teachings, and values; and relies heavily on the wisdom and teachings of the elders, oral history and traditional knowledge. Knowing the traditional history and values helps define the tribe’s foundation; and the ensuing Mission Statement and Vision Statement; goals, strategies; and helps define future plans.
