Strategic Plan: Year 3 The third and final year focuses on further implementation of objectives and evaluation of the process. Although this completes the fourth and final step in the strategic planning process, strategic planning is a cycle; evaluation leads to assessment and realignment that starts the next cycle of strategic planning. Recommended activities: - Hire additional staff, conduct onboarding activities and provide training that meets the needs of the expanded organization. - Open the second hotel. - Evaluate and monitor processes, and update them as needed to ensure that new procedures are appropriate for hotels that will be added in the future.
