Strategic Planning: Good from Bad

Strategic Planning arms YOU, the business owner, with a sharp-edged awareness of what works and doesn't to move your enterprise from good to better then great. Gain a keener understanding of where your organization stands today, both internally and externally in the marketplace.

Learn essential elements which turn wishful thinking into genuine, good strategy. You will distinguish Good from Bad Strategy using case studies about the successes and failures of other organizations. Practice methods to guide you towards living, breathing strategy-directed, operational instructions. Map your venture's functions creating a conduit to your success.

Lead your staff in SMART goal setting, progress evaluation and plan adjustment as your customers, competitors and the broader economy alter market dynamics. Periodic plan revision is a better strategy than failing to plan, and thereby planning to fail.

Business Navigation 101:
Tear off the Blindfold and STEER This Ship!

Analyze:
What is your business situation? Use business and financial analysis to compare where you are now with your past performance and others in your industry.

Systematize:
If you can't express what you do, you don't know what you're doing. Design systems and processes around the four main functions in your organization.

Then Communicate:
Vision, mission, purpose and values - integrate your external marketing message with your internal staff communications so customers experience the promises your ads suggest.

Business Navigation is a four-part seminar series. The first event is an introduction followed by more in-depth work on each of the main course components: finance, systems and marketing. While it is not required, we do encourage participants to take the series in sequence for easier understanding.

Right Person, Right Job:
Improving Staff Productivity
