Vision
Where do we want to be,
what do we want to be seen as?
Mission
How will we achieve this?
What makes us different from everyone else?
Why should clients / customers spend money here?
What do we offer that is unique?
A list of achievable goals
A list of targets i.e. client / customer numbers, member numbers, average age, staffing numbers etc
Responsibility assigned for each item
Place target measurements on each including implementation date
A document that will give an outline of the current position of the organisation,
where it wants to be, how it wants to be perceived and how this can be measured.
Basically, an overview blueprint of the
next 1-5 years of operation, including areas that need to be addressed and improved and areas
that are operationally sound.
The business plans will then target the specifics.
All businesses that are successful
are able to plan
and then measure outcomes.
No business can operate efficiently
without a targeted, evaluated
and accepted management plan.
