Strategic Planning Helps Drive Business Growth
It sounds obvious but planning is important in not just business life but also personal, community, national and international life and interactions. Nearly every aspect of our day to day lives and the state of our society is a result of the plans and activities that our predecessors adopted to improve their futures and our present. Businesses are a small part of the larger picture but an important one never the less. However, when we take time to examine the strategic planning processes in businesses all too frequently we find that strategies are not well defined or are non-existent in some cases.
To improve the long term prospects of a business it is essential that strategies with clearly defined goals and objectives and achievable action plans are developed for a period of several years.
It is also important that progress is monitored regularly and at the appropriate time the strategy is reviewed and modified to take account of environmental changes. This is common sense but it is not uncommon to find that strategic planning in many businesses is sub-optimal for various reasons such as the availability of resources, lack of focus and support, concentration on crisis management and a whole host of other reasons that could be beyond the control of the management and employees of the business.
JPB has helped many organisations to cut through these issues and focus on what is needed to move businesses forward to achieve longer term objectives for the company and its employees’. The benefits can be wide spread but include: better returns for shareholders; increased profitability; better security for employees, customers, suppliers and other stakeholders; a less stressful and more predictable way of working and greater success.
As the saying goes “Failing to plan means planning to fail”. JPB can advise, assist and even manage the strategic planning process in client organisations.
