Process:
Be sure your strategic business plan includes the following:
1. Consider Your Vision And Mission Statement:
Whether you are managing a business unit or the entire company, it’s worthwhile to
revisit your vision and mission statement for purposes of keeping it in mind while
crafting your strategic business plan. Your mission statement will be a reminder of
your core competency and your vision statement will guide your goal creation.
Include this in your business plan as a reminder for your audience as well.
2. Conduct A SWOT Analysis
You need to know where you’re at to determine where you want to go and how you’ll
get there. Look internally and to the market to put together a list of your
strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Then decide which elements are
worth your focus and will return the best outcomes. Consider bringing others into
your SWOT analysis compilation as they might have perspectives different from
yours.
3. Outline Your Objectives
Your goals should be specific. It’s not enough to say, “I want to maximize sales.”
You need to analyze last year’s sales, consider the market and review your action
plans to determine what kind of sales increase is attainable. Stating your goal is
to increase sales 10 percent year over year or by $170,000 by December 31 is
acceptable – and something that will help your team gain perspective and keep
motivated. It’s a good idea to consider objectives attainable in one year, two or
three, five and 10.
4. Determine Staffing Needs
Strategic workforce planning should be part of your business planning. Beyond how
many additional staff members you need, think about which departments will need the
support and how that will shift over time. With technology’s impact on the future
of work, there may be increasing opportunities for virtual workers or independent
contractors and shifting demand due to task automation. Take attrition into account
and start building a pipeline to help you ramp up quickly when the need arises.
5. Determine Your Resources
Growing your business requires an investment of some kind – whether it’s staffing,
money, training, time, information and a whole host of other things. Take this time
to determine which resources would be affected by chasing your goals and outline
your needs here. It’s important to be painfully clear about what you’ll need to
accomplish your goals so it’s no surprise when you start asking in the
implementation stages.
6. Brainstorm Strategies
Here’s the fun part! Brainstorm multiple strategies that will help you reach your
objectives. Allow yourself to think outside the box here and pull in people who
will come up with alternative ideas. It’s ideal to go beyond jotting down the ideas
and really analyze the potential of the strategy. Think about more than just the
financial cost of the option and consider the real cost and opportunity cost.
Brainstorm the advantages and disadvantages of each option and how they all compare
to each other.
7. Write Your Action Plans
Once you’ve settled on one or two strategies you’re ready to implement – decide who
is going to be accountable for bringing them to fruition. You should create a guide
to follow; it would be wise to include the project leader in this business planning
session. Action plans complete with steps will give you the best chances of
success. Don’t be afraid to revisit these action plans, as necessary, as you
progress in the project. Being agile is of the utmost importance in the current
business environment.
8. Measure Success
If you’ve put in all this work to create a business plan, you certainly want to
know how it turns out. Before you dive right into to writing a new business plan
next year, take your time to measure your success. Analyze the data, determine the
return on your investment and find out your position in the marketplace. This will
lend insight for building your new strategic business plan.
