Planning horizon

Planning horizon

The planning horizon is the amount of time an organisation will look into the future when preparing a strategic plan. Many commercial companies use a five-year planning horizon, but other organisations such as the Forestry Commission in the UK have to use a much longer planning horizon to form effective plans.
