Business planning is building a guide or roadmap for where you want your business to go. Most importantly, a business plan clarifies the goals and changes that should help reach the goals. After all, if you can’t link the change ideas to the goals, there is no reason to waste energy on implementing them.
The success or failure of the changes are highly dependent on your ability to manage the changes and get buy-in from staff. So, once you identify your goals and define the change ideas and benefits, your next step is to implement them. Unclear changes and lack of leadership causes discomfort among staff, disintegrates the culture, and reduces productivity and success. Thus, you should designate a leader to head-up each change, decide the timeline, and write an execution plan, and share the plan and benefit to the change with team members to get buy-in.
