strat·e·gy [stráttəjee] definition: planning in any field: a carefully devised plan of action to achieve a goal, or the art of developing or carrying out such a plan
DECA CHAPTER STRATEGY definition: The masterful alignment of fantastic advisors and talented emerging leaders who enthusiastically bring together the right people at the right time with the right resources to achieve awesome results!
GOAL SETTTING RANGE DECA GOALS reflect a corporate style of goal setting. Corporate goal setting assigns a goal range or “targets” that everyone is striving to achieve. Setting ranges of success for goals helps define the “base line” expectation as well as the next progressive levels of success the chapter is aiming to achieve. Goals are like a map on your chapter’s success journey. They tell you where you are currently, define your ultimate destination, and show your milestones or rest stops along the way.
Instructions: The DECA GOALS is a menu template for chapter goal setting. You do not need to set all of these goals! Instead follow these steps:

DECA IS EPIC! Reaching epic levels as an organization does not occur because of any one major initiative. It’s built on a combination of little acts of excellence throughout the entire DECA system that ushers in super success. Delivering projects and activities with intentional acts of planning, implementation, communication, and evaluation makes the mission of DECA come to life.
FORMULA FOR EPIC DECA PROJECT SUCCESS
97% of organizations believe
project management is critical
to business performance and
organizational success.
EVALUATION X PLANNING X IMPLEMENTATION X COMMUNICATION = BE EPIC

DECA EPIC PROJECTS BREAK IT DOWN
Identify which element(s) of DECA’s mission the project will advance. If you’re team has aligned officer positions with DECA’s mission, you will easily be able to identify the officers who should be project leaders. Great project identify a deadline for completion as well as a start line to begin. Identify members or teams who will be involved and impacted. EPIC DECA projects involve seeing the vision of what could be in advance and identifying key goals (refer to the DECA Goals Dashboard) that will be attained and who will own the project.
Evaluation is where ideas turn from concepts to projects. Once a project idea is approved, define what success looks like. DECA leaders look out into the future, identify what they are trying to achieve and describe the performance measures. Once the project is completed, leaders LOOK at the project process and actual results. Evaluating projects before and after while observing and seeking learning opportunities differentiates DECA officers from other student leaders.
EPIC DECA Projects are dreams with doables and deadlines. A Bull Survey reports that 39% of failed projects were due to lack of planning. Defining the customer and what they consider value is vital in planning. Determining the project leader and securing expertise and experience are key ingredients. Projects require leadership, training, resources, and approvals/support to be epic. Identifying obstacles and scheduling conflicts is key.
Work work work until all your work is done! Delegation, training, and monitoring is happening. Setup and logistics are underway. Stakeholder involvement and/or updates are occurring. Backup plans, alternative action, or adjustments may be necessary. Regular reports share project status, modifications, and forecasts. Underestimation of project complexity is a factor in 35% of project shortfalls according to IBM. Managing implementation closely is the key job of EPIC DECA leaders!
The root word of communication is “commune” meaning “bring together.” The leading cause of failed projects is poor communication. According to a Bull study, 57% projects fail to bring people together to turn potential into reality. EPIC DECA leaders are skilled at selecting the right message (refer to Crazy 8 Communication). They are organized and disciplined to deliver key messages at the right time, to the right people, using the right medium (e.g. presentation, letter, visit, proposal, social media, etc.).
