CIPS L5M10 Exam - Topic 1 Question 17 Discussion

Posted by Nenita on Aug 12, 2026 at 04:53 PM

Strategic planning is long-term planning, usually over 5--10 years in the future. Is this sentence correct?

Suggested Answer: A

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

Strategy deals with long-term direction and typically contains broad objectives with lower detail; tactical (mid-term) and operational (short-term) plans add specificity and detail. Therefore, longer-horizon strategic plans contain less operational detail than short-term plans. (Reference: CIPS L5M10 Study Guide, Planning horizons---strategic/tactical/operational, pp. 99--100)
