Question #: 17
Topic #: 1

[All L5M10 Questions]

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

AYes --- the longer the strategic plan, the less detail it will include

BYes --- strategic plans have more detail than short-term plans

CNo --- long-term plans are tactical rather than strategic

DNo --- strategic plans detail the objectives of the organisation over the upcoming year

Show Suggested Answer

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)

I think I encountered a similar question where the focus was on the timeframe of strategic vs. tactical plans. I might lean towards option C.

I'm not entirely sure, but I thought strategic plans were more about the overall vision rather than specific details.

I remember discussing how strategic planning typically spans several years, so I think the sentence is correct.
