What Is Strategic Planning? 8
Working Definition Strategic planning is a disciplined effort to produce fundamental decisions and actions that shape and guide what an organization is, what it does, and why it does it, with a focus on the future. (Adapted from Bryson's Strategic Planning in Public and Nonprofit Organizations) 9
Strategic Planning is not An attempt to make future decisions without doing the formative research! Decisions are made in the present A substitute for the exercise of judgment by leadership! Leaders must prioritize current issues and most appropriate responses to those issues A smooth process at every level within an organization It is a creative process with ups and downs 10
Benefits of Strategic Planning Allows an organization to: 1. Clearly define the purpose of the organization and to establish realistic goals and objectives consistent with that mission in a defined time frame within the organization s capacity for implementation. 2. Communicate those goals and objectives to the organization s constituents. 3. Develop a sense of ownership of the plan. 11
Benefits (Cont d) 4. Ensure the most effective use is made of the organization s resources by focusing the resources on the key priorities. 5. Provide a base from which progress can be measured and establish a mechanism for informed change when needed. 6. Listen to everyone s opinions in order to build consensus about where the organization is going. Free Management Library, accessed online 2010 12
Why Do Strategic Plans Fail? Assessing Your Plan 13
10 Common Reasons Strategic Plans Fail (Leo Bottary, blog.vistage.com) 1. History What type of history or track record does the organization have with new initiatives? 2. People/Culture Is there an understanding of organizational culture/subcultures and the people who drive the organization? 14

Lack of Flexibility Is the organization willing/able to change the Plan without sacrificing the goal(s)? 8. Milestones/Rewards Are there creative ways to reward the organization as it makes Plan progress? 16
10 Common Reasons (cont d) 9. Bad Planning Who was involved in the Plan process and how extensive was their involvement? 10.

Integrating HIV Prevention/ Care with Strategic Planning 24
National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS) 25
The Current Landscape of HIV 26
HIV Health Inequities HIV incidence in most affected subpopulations (Fenton, CDC, 2012) N= 48,100 (42,200-54,000) SUMMARY MSM account for 2% of the US population but 64% of new HIV infections Black MSM account for 73% of infections in Black men and 38% of MSM infections In 2009, Latino MSM accounted for 81% (6,000) of new HIV infections among all Latino men and 20% among all MSM Prejean PlosOne 2011; Purcell Open AIDS, 2012; MMWR 59 (37); CDC, Estimates of New HIV Infection, 2006-2009. 27
The Continuum of HIV Prevention, Care and Treatment in the United States, 2010 (Fenton, CDC, 2012) MMWR, 60 (47), 2011 SUMMARY Of the estimated 942,000 persons with HIV who were aware of their infection, approx. 77% were linked to care, and 51% remained in care In care, 45% had prevention counseling; 89% given ART; 77% virally suppressed Estimated 28% of all HIV-infected persons have a suppressed viral load 28
National HIV/AIDS Strategy Vision for NHAS: The United States will become a place where new HIV infections are rare and when they do occur, every person, regardless of age, gender, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity or socio economic circumstance, will have unfettered access to high quality, life extending care, free from stigma and discrimination. High Impact HIV Prevention, CDC, 2011 (The Red Book) 29
National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS) Goals Reduce new HIV infections Increase access to care and Improve health outcomes for people Living with HIV Reduce HIV related health disparities Achieve a more coordinated national response to the HIV epidemic 30
High Impact HIV Prevention To address these challenges, CDC and its partners are pursuing a High Impact HIV Prevention approach to reducing new HIV infections. By using combinations of scientifically proven, costeffective, and scalable interventions targeted to the right populations in the right geographic areas, this approach promises to increase the impact of HIV prevention efforts and essential step in achieving the goals of NHAS. 31
HIP Strategy: The 5 Components Effectiveness & Cost Feasibility of Full Scale Implementation Coverage in Target Populations Interaction and Targeting Prioritization 32
HIP Strategy: The 5 Components 1. Effectiveness & Cost Key Question: Does this intervention/strategy maximize our limited resources? HIV Testing & Condom Distribution are known to be cost effective Focused efforts with PLWH to avoid HIV transmission is known to be more cost effective than efforts with larger populations of people at risk for infection. 33
HIP Strategy: The 5 Components 2. Feasibility of full scale implementation Key Question: Is this intervention/strategy practical to implement on a large scale, at a reasonable cost? Time/resource intensive interventions to be reserved for people at the highest level of risk for transmission and infection (e.g. individual & group level) 34
HIP Strategy: The 5 Components 3. Coverage in the Target Populations Key Question: How many people can be reached once the intervention is fully implemented? Recommended Programs: Routine, opt out HIV testing in health care settings, regardless of risk Targeted, HIV testing in non health care settings for people at higher risk 35
HIP Strategy: The 5 Components 4. Interaction and Targeting Key Question: Can this intervention/strategy effectively interact with or relate to other interventions/ strategies? Examples: Expanded HIV testing can amplify impact of efforts to increase treatment adherence Expanded social networks can help target and scale up condom distribution efforts 36
HIP Strategy: The 5 Components 5. Prioritization Key Question: Does this intervention/strategy have enough overall potential to reduce HIV infections that it can be prioritized? Components 1 4 must be thoroughly assessed to help guide decisions on which interventions/ strategies to place resources. 37
Enhancing Prevention High Impact Prevention in Practice (Fenton, CDC, 2012) HIV Testing Testing in health care and non-health care settings Testing of pregnant women Ensure linkage to care and prevention services HIV Prevention with Positives ART and adherence interventions STD screening and treatment Partner services Behavioral interventions for HIV-positive persons Retention and re-engagement in care Condom Distribution Focus on people with HIV and at high risk Structural and Policy Initiatives Create enabling environment for optimal HIV prevention and care through policies, regulations, and practice
