Hello !

Well there are three level of planning - Corporate, Strategic Business Unit and Operational.

Approach to strategic plan - I don't really understand the question. However, to make strategic plans, you have to undertake an assessment of [strategic position] of the organisation, the environment in which it operates, its strategic capability, stakeholders' expectations and organisational purposes.

Then determine the choices available to it [strategic choices]. And finally, you put the the strategic plan into action [strategic implementation].

However, strategy is not always a top-bottom approach as above. It can be middle-up or any other way, as the three important elements (discussed above) are overlapping [Rational Planning Model - by John, Scholes & Whittington (JSW)]

Moreover, strategy may emerge during the process of strategic planning. They are regarded as emergent strategies in Mintzberg.
