Summary Thoughts <br /> A successful strategic plan is, by definition, a usable plan — one that directs <br /> the City's economic development activities as well as its long-range view, <br /> and that yields meaningful improvements in effectiveness, capacity and <br /> relevance. <br /> To put it simply, not every plan is a strategic plan. A strategic plan is a tool <br /> that provides guidance in fulfilling a mission with maximum efficiency and <br /> impact. If it is to be effective and useful, it should articulate specific goals <br /> and describe the action steps as we have in this document. As a rule, most <br /> strategic plans should be reviewed and revamped every three to five years. <br /> This plan is no exception. <br /> In its own right, this plan's primary goal is to energize the Arden Hills EDC <br /> and to chart a course of action for the organization. This strategic plan for <br /> Arden Hills has addressed the needs of the community in economic • <br /> development while taking strides to ensure that the common pitfalls for plan <br /> failure have been averted. As Arden Hills implements the plan in a logical, <br /> sequential manner, it will energize its economic development efforts, and <br /> with it the community as a whole. <br /> • <br /> Strategic Plan for Economic Development Page 14 of 20 <br /> \\Metro-inet.us\ardenhills\Admin\Committees\Economic Development Commission\AH Strategic Plan-Final 5-16-07.doc <br />
