BUSINESS STRATEGY AND PLANNING

The Challenge of Envisioning Strategy and Developing a Business Plan

Do you have an idea for a new business? What about significantly improving your existing business? Achieving success in today’s competitive economic and business environment requires unique vision supported by a well-thought-out strategy supported by realistic plans. Whether your strategy is low-cost provider or sustained differentiation, it is essential the vision, mission and business strategy align with each other, and the operational, financial, HR and information systems plans are driven from that strategy.

The first step in launching a new business or enhancing an existing one is to plan. Think before you act.
“Failing to Plan is Planning to Fail.” “A goal without a plan is just a wish.” “If you don’t know where you are going, you’ll end up someplace else.” “Good fortune is what happens when opportunity meets with planning.” “Proper planning and preparation prevents poor performance.” “Always have a plan and believe in it. Nothing happens by accident.”

The challenge described above is applicable for a new, growing or mature company. This is a significant effort, don’t try to do it alone. Utilize group meetings to ensure timely participation by all stakeholders, rapid achievement of consensus and integrated results documentation. Consider outside expertise to organize and coach your team’s efforts.
