We all have dreams for our company. If a plan can be thrashed out, you are likely to get what you want.
Business planning should be used to set the strategy and action plan for the next 3-5 years. A good plan:
Explains objectives.
Empowers managers by involving them in the planning process.
Define priorities, learn about your business, discard outmoded products and services.
A business plan should be the guidebook for managers. It sets out specifically agreed targets, without going into the detail of how to achieve them. Directors can then compare results against the plan, and spending time on identifying bottlenecks and non-performing employees.
Whatever you plan in business, it will always take longer, be fewer sales, cost more and be harder work than you expected - always.
If you can plan for those contingencies and can still reach your goals you are in a sound business and financial position to pull the trigger. You will succeed.
