Strategic planning provides focus and calm when chaos enters the game.
Strategy is about making choices, trade-offs; it’s about deliberately choosing to be different – Michael Porter

Strategic planning is as important as the plan itself.
No matter the size of business you lead the value of a strategic plan cannot underestimated. Simply selling more or ‘growing’ doesn’t provide the framework required to manage that growth or ensure you are pointing in the right direction. Even the simplest strategic plan ensure you stay on course towards your goals.
86% of executive teams spend less than one hour per month discussing strategy.

Do you have a strategic plan? If not, how do you know what the future looks like with so much disruption in every industry?
In our experience, many leaders don’t have a strategic plan because they are technicians. They know what they do, and they are good at it, but they don’t know how to look into the future.
Another reason leaders don’t have strategic plans, is that they don’t know how and feel they should know.
All businesses need sound direction to ensure they meet their potential. It is assumed that the strategic planning aspect of growing a business is complex. But if you know where you want to get to that’s half the battle. Next is to reverse engineer the way you get there.
A robust strategy will help you understand what is required to meet your goals daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually, 3 years, 5 years.
The easiest way to start developing a strategic plan is covered in 3 simple steps:
- Start simple (Write down where you want to be in 1 and 3 years).
- Identify what steps you think you need to take and what help you need.
- Then ask for that help!
There is no value in going it alone when many business challenges both good and bad have already been solved by others.
