How to Create a Strategic
Plan for Your Business
Edward J. Herzstock
The most successful small businesses, corporations, and
organizations are never static. Their leaders are constantly
looking to the future, pursuing a variety of short-term and
long-term objectives while attempting to gain a competitive
advantage over competitors. These leaders define the visions of
their organizations and use strategic planning to achieve
organizational goals within a specific time frame– Edward
Herzstock. However, before those objectives can be met, a
solid strategic plan must be implemented.
Determine your goal
Your goal can range from the broad (such as launching
a company) to the specific (such as changing the color
scheme of a brand).
Conduct a self-evaluation
Taking a hard look at the organization as it currently
exists is part of the strategic planning process. Do you
have the necessary cash flow and human resources to
see your plan through to completion? What are the
most important assets you have at your disposal? This
is referred to by business professionals as a Swot,
which stands for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities,
and threats..
Form a group of members
Determine who in your organization will be
in charge of this effort. It is critical that
whoever you deputize be given the freedom
to make strategic decisions quickly.
Micromanagement from a CEO or board
members can harm morale and halt a
process, so delegate authority to people
whose judgment you trust.
Do your homework
If you have business objectives, find out
what you need to do to achieve them. For
example, if you want to increase your
market share, figure out how much you
need to increase your customer base.
Create a road map to success
You’re ready to lay out your plan in detail once you’ve
completed a thorough self-assessment, assembled a
carefully selected team, and gathered the necessary data.
Establish strategic goals and space them out at reasonable
intervals. Push your organization to be the best it can be,
but set goals that are achievable.
Nothing beats the rush of setting lofty goals and then
exceeding them–Edward J. Herzstock. You can enjoy this
process and proudly take your business organization to
the next level with the help of a strong strategic
management process.
Thanks For Watching
