Importance of Strategic Planning!

“A sailor without a destination cannot hope for a favourable wind”

As we move closer to summer, many of us are nearing our holidays – a time we can use to both reflect on the year so far and look towards the next few months and beyond.

It is a well-known fact that the businesses that plan tend to outperform those that don’t and yet many business owners fail to perform this important task. I am a great believer in the planning process; in my opinion, the time needed to create a proper business plan is worth its weight in gold.

Importance of Strategic Planning




The most important plan is the strategic plan as this helps to clarify key goals, facilitates the reporting of the most important performance indicators, provides the specific actions needed and  creates accountability.   These 4 areas significantly increase our chances of doing what is necessary to arrive at where we want to be.  Indeed, it is the “doing” that is the number one factor to a successful business.

If you are looking to undertake some strategic planning and would like any help, I would be pleased to show you how the process works.  I would also be happy to facilitate this process with all the key people in your team.

Please let me know if this is something you would like to know about.
