Making Plans Now For A Better Business Year in 2006 Beyond
Making Plans Now For A Better Business Year in 2006 Beyond
By: J. Glenn Ebersole, Jr., Chief Executive of J. G. Ebersole Associates and The Renaissance Group™
Can you believe that we will be turning the calendars to 2006 in about 6 weeks? Have you thought about how to plan for a better business year in 2006? Do you have clear goals for 2006 and a plan to achieve them?
Well, right now is the time to use “strategic thinking” about 2006. Strategic thinking and planning now will help reduce or remove some uncertainty in the year ahead, minimize surprises and/or enable you to better cope with surprises, create improved team work and also make more efficient use of your time and financial resources.
For those clients who have adopted a Strategic Plan and a Strategic Action Plan, we work together to update or refresh their Strategic Action Plan and its goals. The process we use has the following steps:
Commit to plan for the next year and then initiate the planning.
Review the company vision and modify, if required.
Review the company mission and modify, if required.
Perform a reality check on the company’s achievement of the current year goals.
Set goals for the new year. Make sure each goal is the result of strategic thinking, is measurable, and will have a timeline for completion.
Develop the Strategic Action Plan with a detailed breakdown of activities/tasks for each goal, an assigned leader for each goal and each activity/task, and a place to record completion of each individual activity/task and overall goal.
Creating the above plan has many positive rewards. It does not have to be a time-consuming or a difficult task. Sometimes this task does require some outside assistance to facilitate timely completion. I would be pleased to be your guide and facilitator to assist you in preparing for 2006. Why not contact Glenn Ebersole at jgeprman@aol.com today to help you get prepared for a better business year in 2006 and beyond.

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
