CCS Testimonial
I know how important Strategic Planning can be for a business. I recently spoke to a business owner with whom I had this conversation,
"If you do not plan for your future business, anticipate or think about what business conditions could change in your business then you will struggle to catch up to where you are today.
Planning for potential shifts in the market, changes in buyer habits, new competition and staying in touch with current customers will offset loss.
Don't ever set yourself up for the - 'I did not see this coming' attitude. Plan for potential issues and for your success."
That was 10 months ago and now, without a solid Strategic Plan, have just closed their business. The owner said to me that she wishes she had listened to me that, maybe, if she had marketed better, or planned for potential problems that she would be in a better position to hang on to her business.
I know that planning is an investment - but I don't want you to end up like she did. Out of a business AND the investment she put into it in the first place.

Top 3 Most Forgotten or Neglected SP Tasks
Top 3 Most Forgotten or Neglected Strategic Planning Tasks
The most common complaint I hear time and again is how staff, businesses or board members feel about their strategic planning (SP) retreat. The 3 most common complaints include:
1) Nothing concrete came out of the discussion, or
2) No one was assigned any responsibility, or
3) No follow-up process was established or 'they' just did not follow-up on anything we talked about at the reteat.
In short, nice meeting but a waste of time.
Creative Corporate Solutions and Leadership Strategies will make your Strategic Planning efforts productive and easy to follow up on.
As a professional SP facilitator it is my goal to make sure that when participants leave the planning session that, at least, three things ARE established:
1. Participants clearly understand and support the goals set up during the planning session.
2. Stakeholders and team leaders are identified.
3. 2 to 3 follow-up meetings are on the calendar to assure ongoing communication.
How do you eliminate these top 3 mistakes?
* Assign each of your participants an area of accountability.
* You have spent the time planning, now remain involved and create follow-up dates (at least once a month) to update timeline for completion dates.
* Update and change where needed, and
* Celebrate milestones as they come.
* Compliment staff for completing task and reward when possible (Starbucks cards are always great)
Bottom line, when you or your organization design a plan they should remain involved.
