Last Updated: November 04, 2011

Strategic visioning is a process in which community members discuss past and present community issues, determine positive qualities and assets, identify future goals, design a plan for the community, carry out a series of actions, and evaluate the outcomes. A strategic visioning process provides a framework to identify community core values and assets, describe overall goals, and determine specific objectives and strategies that assist with community decision making. The process outlines what a community could be or should be like in the short and long-term future. Through collective dialogue and reflection, strategic visioning has the potential to lead to community action by creating a “road map” to the future.
