Strategic planning is an important management tool in achieving a
set goal especially for the library director/manager who contends
with demand for improved services in the face of reduced funding.
Strategic planning is useful in driving improved agricultural
information management needed for agricultural transformation in
Nigeria. It will assist the library director/manager in
re-invigorating services rendered to the clients. Applying strategic
planning in library management will re-position the staff and
require the involvement of every staff within an organization to
make it work. Strategic planning flows from an analysis of both the
internal and external environment of the organization for the
library director/manager to be able to assess its workability,
risks, time of implementation and availability of resources. The
library director/manager must consider the various types of
strategic planning which ranges from organizational, personnel,
growth, financial, opportunities, innovation and retrenchment.
Working along-side total quality management, strategic planning can
help the library director/manager deliver improved qualitative
agricultural information needed for sustainable agricultural
transformation in Nigeria.
