Business Strategy and Business Vision
It is important to understand the difference between your business strategy and business vision.
Your business strategy is what your company is going to do, while your business vision is why your company is going to do it.
By communicating your business vision through out your organisation you will create greater impetus towards achieve key company objectives.
Business Plans
The first step in business planning and strategy is to clarify and reach consensus on your business objectives. Once agreed, the business objectives can be converted into practical plans.
Your business plans should cover the provision and application of resources plus the measurement of performance. The business plans should also anticipate alternative scenarios that could deflect the company from its chosen course and help your business to be proactive, rather than reactive to events.
All too often, once written, business plans are consigned to the filing cabinet and seldom see the light of day again. The business plan should, in fact, be a 'living' document that is continually reviewed and updated. These plans are often required by banks, investors and other sources of funding.
