The document compares different types of strategic planning models, including their advantages and disadvantages. The basic strategic planning model provides clear direction and informed decision-making but can be time-intensive and face resistance to change. The issue-based model focuses on specific issues and goals but may overlook broader factors. The scenario planning model encourages consideration of multiple possibilities but is time-consuming to develop scenarios. The alignment model ensures coordination across departments but may create resistance if priorities are not considered. Finally, the organic model emphasizes flexibility but can lack clear focus and direction.
