How can a strategic planner ensure the planning process is improved over time?

Continuous improvement in strategic planning is achieved byestablishing formal mechanisms to monitor, evaluate, and enhance the process over time. These mechanisms may include feedback loops, process reviews, benchmarking, and learning cycles. The IASP SPP curriculum highlights that continuous improvement enables adaptation to changing environments and improves planning accuracy and effectiveness. While envisioning ideals and reviewing history are helpful, without structured processes to manage improvement, gains are ad hoc and unsustainable. Periodic reporting tracks progress but does not inherently improve the planning process itself.【IASP SPP Study Guide - Continuous Improvement】【Deming, Out of the Crisis】
