Planning
Successful, small, high tech companies form because they have a better way of providing the market and customer with a service or product. In these small companies the owners or CEO's typically handle all of the management, administration, finances and technical work. When the companies start to grow, these managers become overwhelmed. Developing a well constructed Strategic Plan that considers these points is essential.
- what the vision is
- who the company will become
- what the company values are
- what the short and long term goals and objectives will be
- what the road map to the future will be
An Annual Operating Plan turns a Strategic Plan into action. It defines the assignments in order to achieve the strategic objectives. Without these two basic plans, a company is like a ship at sea drifting without a rudder or engine. The Strategic Plan provides the rudder while the Annual Operating Plan provides the engine.
Large, complicated, unused plans are worse than no plans at all. While a large Strategic Plan that examines everything from population demographics to new market incursions may be appropriate for large companies that acquire multiple companies for new business growth, these plans are not appropriate for most small companies. These plans use valuable resources to develop and provide minimum value.
