The planning process is a very crucial part of your company's success. A good plan can help you decide where you are and where you are headed. The plan is too important to give the responsibility to anyone else. The first pass through a budget can set up a framework, but a tight plan will need specific targets. Keep the plan alive.
Plans die in drawers.
A living plan will do a lot more for your company's success. Keep it alive with a monthly inspection and a regular tune-up. There are many people who can and should be consulted before finishing your plan, some at little or no cost. Customers, suppliers, professional advisors, can all make a contribution to a plan.
