Abstract
A strategic plan is conceptual in nature, and provides a framework from which we operate. It embodies the personality, the heart, of the organization. It is intentional and emerging, planned and reactive, intellectual and intuitive. It is vision and value based. Strategic management is the oversight of a strategy as it relates to an organization's strategic plan. Strategic management of the plan is a series of decisions put into action, one decision at a time, moment by moment. A supportive learning environment supports better decisions. Organizations are communities that have amassed great size and wealth. As communities of great power, they have an opportunity to effect social change and to improve the lives of many.
By aiding in uncovering the assets and capacities of local communities; providing banking services and education to the poor; and becoming the first pure social financial services business; Grameen America could be the catalyst for a major paradigm shift in American society.
