Breakthrough
Business Planning
Describing
the future is the first step in making it happen!
The Breakthrough Business
Planning workshop teaches you how to describe the solution you
are after, and then work out the steps involved in making it
happen.
1. Where are we now?
Good planning starts with a review
of the purpose of the business, an understanding of what the
customers want and the areas of key result. In the workshop you
will review these and then focus on the major areas of the business,
describing what current performance looks like.
What data do we have to tell
how we are going today? What do the customers say about us at
present? What is happening today? How do the staff behave? What
results are we getting now?
2. What do we want to have
happening?
By using a solutions focus approach,
you are coached to describe, in some detail, what your business
will look like when the plans have all been implemented.
What will customers be saying?
How will staff behave? What will the business look like? How
will you know the plans are working?
3. When is the future already
here?
Some things are already working
well in your business. Using the solutions focus methods, you
will discuss the current strengths of the business. The incidence
of great current customer and business results can act as sign
posts to future success.
What things work well now, even
if only sometimes? Who is involved? What happens at those times?
Under what circumstances?
4. Where are we on the success
scale?
To identify the next steps in
planning for your business, its helpful to decide how far along
the path you are today. For each of the major areas of your business,
you will identify the progress already made and establish a marker.
Why are we this far along? What
did one step further back look like? What would one step further
along look like?
5. What do we do now?
You'll list on going projects,
critical day to day activities and planned initiative. Using
the solutions focus tools, you will generate other activities
that could move your business along to its "perfect"
future. Using an impact/ability ranking process, you will determine
the absolute priorites for action for your business in the coming
period.
