Abstract
The study investigates organizational strategic planning and employee performance in Nigeria's educational institutions. Specifically, education is the bedrock of nation-building, because it provides the platform or pivot on which other sectors revolve. Perhaps, one of the fundamental challenges of the educational sector is poor and defective strategic planning. The inadequacy or lack of strategic planning is the focus of this study.
Methodologically, data were generated from secondary sources of recorded documents, while relevant literature was reviewed with a base theory adopted as theoretical underpinning. Content analyses were employed to analyze data via documentary approach. The study found out that lack of strategic planning poses a problem to educational development.
It recommended that holistic strategic planning involving the application of strategic planning processes such as sector analysis, policy analysis, action planning, and monitoring and evaluation should be reinvigorated to create efficiency and stability in the organization.
