Do you think that quarterly realignment of strategic initiatives with long-term goals is just for big businesses? Done well, a structured quarterly business plan can serve as a silent, well-informed, and influential business partner to help keep independent retailers on track and accountable.
 
I share three tips to help ensure the successful execution of your thoughtful business planning exercise, as well as three pitfalls to avoid.

Topics Discussed in this Trend Report:

  • Basing business priorities around your business values
  • The importance of long-term goals to maintaining big-picture perspective
  • Using short-term goals to ensure frequent accomplishments and support momentum
  • Prioritizing function over form in a planning system
