A Look at Long-Term Strategic Planning: Comparing and Contrasting the United States Government 3D Planning Model and a Non-Governmental Organization

Abstract

The goal of long term security planning in the global environment is to provide a stabilizing presence, irrespective of current affairs, to build relationships and capacity to prevent future conflict. Although strategic planning for the US Government is top-down driven and conversely bottom-up focused by nongovernmental organizations such as World Vision, there is much to share between government agencies and nongovernment organizations. Collaboration can prevent conflict and build capacity as engagements are prioritized and assessments provide enduring relationships during shifts in policy and resources. Comparing and contrasting the new draft US Government s 3D planning model with that of World Vision s may offer opportunities for improved long-term strategic planning. The US Government's interagency 3D planning model is a first step draft, in an ongoing effort to bridge the gaps in the planning community between interagency counterparts at headquarters and their components-to the extent possible in accordance with the responsibilities and authorities of each agency.
