Strategy is defined as a careful plan or method. Although you may be under pressure to act now to get results, skipping the strategic planning phase of a communications program is like throwing words up against the wall and hoping they form a positive impression. In today's world of tight budgets and limited resources, a little time spent developing a strategy can help you make the most of your organization's outreach efforts.

It's easy to become too close to see the impact of issues on the company's reputation, and not every organization is in a position to hire an outside agency.
