Practice question · Put in order
Order the planning cascade from identity to execution.
- Vision: what we intend to become
- Mission: why we exist
- Strategy: the chosen route
- SMART objectives: measurable milestones
- Operational plans and budgets
Hints
- Each level constrains the one below it.
- Identity comes before direction, which comes before numbers.
Show the answer
- Mission: why we exist
- Vision: what we intend to become
- SMART objectives: measurable milestones
- Strategy: the chosen route
- Operational plans and budgets
Why
Each level constrains the next: a budget that contradicts the strategy, or a strategy detached from the mission, is the cascade running backwards.
