Elements
Elements that consist in public sector organizations vary from the focus of specific organization. A study that was conducted by Theodore H. Poister and Gregory Streib claimed that the most frequent elements used were the development of goals, objectives, visions for the future, reviews of their organizational missions and action plans. These key elements are vital in having a successful strategic plan in the public sector because each element is unique in its own case. The tasks that each of these elements have can be defined differently depending on the organizations view's. The list below shows a broad task for each of these crucial elements:


 * Goals: the broad based strategies are sufficient to reach the organization's mission.
 * Objectives: are used to achieve the organizations goals and vision. These strategies are measurable, specific, action oriented, and realistic.
 * Visions: these are simple statements that the organization used as a future road map. These visions should allow enough room for all areas of impact but small enough to define their path.
 * Reviews: are used when the strategic plans are implemented by the organization. This is a very significant element in strategic planning. Reviews are used to monitor the success of the plan as well as the challenges that are being faced. When reviews are implemented to the plan they must find areas of weakness and reevaluate their goals and objective to fix the issues that have affected their original plan.
 * Mission: this element defines the organizations image. This statement usually includes the core goals and values of the organization.
 * Action Plan: the action plan is used when the plan has been outlines. The action plan will prioritized the organizations focuses and make sure that the strategy being implemented will meet the criteria for their plan as well as if the plan is possible.

Interconnection
Interconnection between the elements are broad in range because neither overlaps another in priority; rather these elements work together to meet a common goal. According to The Exploring Strategy Model developed by Gerry Johnson, Kevan Scholes, and Richard Whittington claims that the elements are interconnected through strategic choices, actions, and position. Each of these elements can be sub-categorized into their specific category in which they fall under. Strategic Position is mostly with the goals of the organization as well as mission. Strategic choice involves the direction in which the strategy might move. Strategy in action is concerned with the strategy in actual practice. Interconnection between the elements must always be working together in order to be make the organization successful.
