the statement given by Fogg (1994) suggests that the strategic planning assessment be surgically updated.

before describing what is means lets understand what is strategic planning assessment is . Strategic planning is an organizational management activity that is used to set priorities, focus energy and resources, strengthen operations, ensure that employees and other stakeholders are working toward common goals, establish agreement around intended outcomes/results, and assess and adjust the organization's direction in response to a changing environment.
