Planning equals profit - Bill Aldrich
Goals require an established strategy for achieving them. A plan should be developed and implemented as part of the strategy. The following steps can be used to develop and implement a plan.
- Define your overall goals, by asking questions such as "Why do we exist" and "What do we do?"
- Thoroughly analyze your working environment, to identify opportunities you can exploit and threats yo may encounter.
- Use the results to set objectives that you want to meet. These will create a standard against which to measure your progress.
- Formulate a plan to achieve those objectives--what needs to be done, by whom, and by when.
- Implement the plan, clarifying roles and providing support.
- Monitor your progress to ensure you are on the right track.
ACTION POINT: Use the steps above to develop plans, large and small ones, that can be implemented and achieved.
