The correct order is the following:
1.- Assess the current reality.
2.- Establish the mission and vision
3.- Formulate the grand strategy & strategic, tactical & operational plans
4.- Open choices for matching.
5.- Maintain strategic control.
Great leaders know that managers have to assess the current reality of the company, the competitors, and the economic situation of the company, as well as microeconomic and macroeconomic factors. Then, the strategic planning has to begin with the definitions of the mission and vision, as well as the values that will represent the moral "pillars" of the company. Then, it comes the formulating of goals, the strategies to reach the goals, followed by the tactics that will show the details on how to accomplish those goals.
