Explanation:

Strategic Planning is a management tool that allows you to establish the task and the path that organizations must travel to achieve the planned goals, taking into account the changes and demands that their environment imposes. In this sense, it is a fundamental tool for decision making within any organization. Thus, Strategic Planning is an exercise in the formulation and establishment of objectives and, especially, in the action plans that will lead to achieving these objectives.
