Strategic Planning for Growth

A plug for an event that I am speaking at next week - The Very Early Lunch Club at the Angel Hotel in Bury St Edmunds. The topic is Strategic Planning for Growth. I'm going to give a practical view on how to get a coherent strategy down on paper and, more importantly, how to ensure that it happens. As Churchill said "However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results". If you’re starting a new business and need a coherent vision for it, or already have a successful business but have reached the end of your current plan this might be helpful. Or if you have a strategy but need to get your team to buy into it. Strategic planning doesn’t need to be about expensive consultants and weighty dusty gather reports. A good strategic plan will help any business to grow. As the cliché goes Failing to Plan is Planning to Fail.
