Currently, we are working on the completion of our planning session for 2009. I often remind our clients the lessons that can be learned from your peers in other industries. This especially can be true with regard to strategic planning.
An excellent business blog, I have been following is Market Mine by Penny Herscher, CEO of FirstRain. Penny's blogs are informative and practical. In her most recent post, Startup to IPO: Building your annual plan, she mentions three points of emphasis for her team.
1) a strategy for greatness
2) team alignment
3) a pragmatic roadmap of how we are going to achieve our plans within a reasonable budget.
As a virtual business, we have several partners with which we communicate to provide services for our clients. In addition to the roadmap, we focus heavily on team alignment. Our structure dictates that all the components of our team have a focus aligned with our overall strategy.
Whether the client equation involves emerging markets or social networking, the team has to provide solutions that are aligned from the front-end planning.
I look forward to completing our process and sharing our experiences in 2009.
During your planning sessions, what are your areas of focus?
