STEP 1: Set the Scene

We will interview all the main players to determine what they would like to achieve for their team or company and how they see themselves fitting into the picture. During this stage we will use assessment tools supplied by CRG to establish what makes your team tick, what their strengths are and how they work together.

STEP 2: Determine Strategic Direction and Set Specific Goals
This step can either be accomplished during an intensive two day workshop or a number of one-on-one meetings, together lasting no longer than a month, then finalized in an intensive and focused session. During this step we will:

  • Define the vision you have for your company or team
  • Set strategic direction
  • Determine goals and objectives to achieve your vision
  • Set action plans to achieve the goals
  • Develop measures to ensure results
  • Draw up a one page plan

This step ensures that focus and clarity are achieved in setting the strategic direction for the next 3 to 5 years. The planning systems we use ensure that your staff are aligned and that everyone is on the same page and understand the specific goals to be achieved over the next year.

STEP 3: Monitor Progress and Ensure Accountability
This is the most important step in the process. The planning systems we use are different to standard company planning and therefore require a certain amount of transformation of the team and what is expected of everyone. Our systems will produce bottom line results but changes in process need to be made.

At least once a month we will meet and make sure that each person is achieving their goals and that they remain focused on their actions and accountable to everyone else on the team. Through experience we have found that any plan not monitored and kept current will not deliver results. Therefore the team will conduct weekly meetings, based on the plan, which will be updated and progress measured.

This step will also give us an opportunity to continually monitor your business. If there are any problems preventing people from achieving their goals, these will be highlighted and further actions can be developed to overcome the problems. This further enhances success.

At the end of our 3 step process you will notice a number of positive changes to your business:

  • Your business will become more flexible and able to adapt to change more easily. Market changes, customer demands and competitors will offer opportunities and the chance to adapt.
  • Your team will become stronger than the individual members. They will work together as a team, hold each other accountable, solve problems and achieve their common vision.
  • There will be better alignment between people, divisions and systems. Performance and productivity will increase as everyone, throughout the business, will know their role in the company and what is expected of them.

This is the new way to plan. No wasted time. In a short time, I had a solid draft. Two days later my entire team had their One Page Plans drafted and ready for review and alignment. Time previously spent on planning is now being spent on execution!
