Strategic Planning Made Simple

The Focus Your Business Now! methodology directs your business leaders and their teams to achieve powerful annual results. As strategic business planning consultants and coaches, we help you to transform your organization into a culture of performance and accountability and move it to the next level of success.

Establishing Habits and Focus
The concept sounds simple enough, but it takes time to establish the habits and focus that are required. Our strategic planning and coaching program for teams is a year long process. It begins with a strategic business planning process and the creation of an annual plan. This is combined with 12 months of coaching support to insure your team implements their plan and achieves their goals.

Your team will experience the tangible results of the best year they’ve ever had in business. After experiencing these results, like most of our clients you may choose to continue our focusing program year after year. In doing so, your team will continue to evolve and improve their planning, implementation and management skills. Your business will become more and more effective at achieving results as you gain strength and momentum and establish a company focus that permeates down to every employee within the organization.

Coaching for Sustainable Results
In short, a team needs to be coached and held accountable throughout the life of the plan if results are to be sustained. Without it the team will revert back to its old ways of operating and the business will remain stuck producing the same level of results it’s always produced.

The yearlong business focusing program we facilitate and coach produces clarity, focus, alignment and accountability through a one page business plan:

1. Clarity and Focus A crystal clear focus for achieving top priorities and results saves time, money and employee frustration. When the actions to take are clear and consistent, energy and resources are focused and effective – not left up to personal preferences. A culture of performance is created. The ability to clarify and focus on the results that matter most leads to accelerated team and business success.
   
2. Team Alignment The Focus Your Business Now process is a sure-fire method to get team members working together instead of protecting their silos of self interest. The process gives every team member an equal voice in the creation of the annual business plan. This participation creates the buy-in that aligns all team members around the same top priorities and goals for the year. This soon results in alignment and unity among all employees.
   
3. Accountability The secret to your success is the year-round accountability system we create and facilitate for your team and each individual. Using a web-based accountability tool we meet monthly to review the business by physically scoring your progress to date and strategizing your plans for the future. Each team member gives an accounting of their progress and plans, thus driving a powerful yet positive peer pressure to perform well.
   
4. One Page Business Plan What holds all this together and maintains your team’s clarity and consistency over time is a remarkable one page focusing tool we call the One Page Business Plan. One page means the team must be focused on exactly what they hope to achieve for the year and how they will do it. One page makes it visible and succinct so there’s no confusion or room for individual interpretation. One page assures the team that the direction is set and increases their confidence to focus their time, energy and resources.
