Strategic Planning – Who should bother?

by Rick Baker
On May 18, 2011
For some business people, strategic planning is not helpful.
 
Business people: who among them should spend time strategic planning?
 
Who will obtain the most benefit from the process of strategic planning?
 
Here’s a checklist to help you determine if strategic planning is for you.
 
Place a check in all the boxes that fit your character or situation…the more you check the more benefit you will obtain from the process of strategic planning.
 
 
   I want my business to stand out…as different
 
   I would like to pack more action & results into each day
 
   I want to be certain I understand my Clients’ needs
 
   I encourage ideas from people who follow me and from my allies
 
   I am a life-long learner
 
   I want people who follow me to communicate as fully as possible
 
   I volunteer time to lead community, not-for-profit or other charitable organizations
 
   I want my followers to draw clear lines between planning-thought & tactical-action
 
   I enjoy hands-on education
  
   I embrace change
 
 
A business leader who has or wants followers
  • Is a life-long learner
  • Prefers hands-on education over lectures
  • Volunteers time to lead community or charitable causes
  • Wants to grow business success
