Strategic Plans do not promise results, I am sure you know that. Especially in this industry there are too many variables to make a promise.

Look up the definition of a strategic plan. Its about vision, process and strategy. From that comes tactics, and a game plan. Legislative activities that try to stop something or allow others to take place in a known environment is part of that. Seeking a three year deal last year to allow negotiations in the 2015-2016 timeframe is a tactic.

Setting up an environment that offers a better probability to translate the tactics and game plan in to results, is all strategy.

Any group that promises results or burns the place down if they can't attain them lacks strategic vision or a plan.
