Are you comfortable that you have a solid plan in place or are you and your team “winging it” when it comes to the core reasons your business exists?
This is a comprehensive end-of-year review covering nine key areas of your business. It is designed to help you and your management team uncover and identify the core tenets of a game-changing growth plan – mostly from what you and your team already know! In addition, this file is packed with worksheets that will help you plan for 2015 and focus on the most vital areas of your business.

Established
Core Values
Our core values are the fundamental beliefs of the organization and its leaders. These values are the guiding

Competitive
Advantage Your unique selling proposition (USP), defines your company’s unique position in the marketplace. A strong
USP lets you to stand apart from competitors and actively focus your energy on creating things that cater to
your customers. In other words, having a unique selling point is a competitive advantage that allows busi-
nesses to avoid the trap of trying to please everyone or becoming a commodity, simply distinguished by price.
The competitive advantage can be described as
your unique selling proposition. This advantage
must be real, well-defined and sustainable.
This should describe how your company will
achieve its vision in a way that is consistent with

When everything is in alignment, the direction, purpose, and goals of an organization can be achieved through targeted performance consistent with our overarching core prin-
ciples. This purposeful and productive effort moves the organization forward. If efforts are poor or inconsistent with our overall direction and values, the company will flounder
and squander many of its opportunities. As we begin a brand new calendar year with 2015, let’s review our overarching goals and objectives that form the basis of a firm’s strategy.

What you can’t measure, you can’t teach, reward or manage. Every business has key metrics or key performance indicators. These numbers indicate the health of the
activities of the business and help drive the general prosperity of the organization. Theses factors make up the economic “dashboard” of a company and are the key
drivers of your “economic engine”. They need to be continually discussed and driven over time (including trend charting, comparison against benchmarks or goals
and brainstorming). Over time, these key metrics (or KPIs) should be updated to reflect the long-term needs of the business. Depending on the nature and dynamics
of your company and industry, these numbers should be checked weekly, monthly, quarterly, semiannually or yearly.
Every business should have a combination of lagging & leading indicators included as a part of their key performance indicators. Lagging indicators measure activities that
have already taken place. There is no ability to change the outcome of past activities, however, regular monitoring at intervals allows future outcomes to be improved.
Leading indicators give insight into the future activities of the company. Timely monitoring allows the projected outcome to be affected in a positive manner. Examples of
lagging indicators include profits per units sold, customer satisfaction factors and return on investment (ROI). Several good examples of leading indicators would
include an order backlog, unbilled revenue and the quantity of qualified leads. Projected targets for company metrics should be balanced and aligned across the various
business components within the organization. Too much emphasis given to one component of the business will lead to a stressed work environment and a future
breakdown in the work flow and may threaten the success of the company. When multiple target metrics have been established, they also need to be aligned with
other target metrics and the company’s core principles. C12 calls this process the “Five-point Alignment Matrix”. Its use is further defined in the Strategic Objectives and
Goals sections below. The five components and examples of their activities are as follows:

Are there opportunities that can offset the threats?
SWOT ANALYSIS: What makes SWOT particularly powerful is that, with a little thought, it can help you uncover opportunities that you are well-placed to exploit. And
by understanding the weaknesses of your business, you can manage and eliminate threats that would otherwise catch you unawares. More than this, by looking at
yourself and your competitors using the SWOT framework, you can start to craft a strategy that helps you distinguish yourself from your competitors, so that you can
compete successfully in your market. Strengths and weaknesses are often internal to your organization, while opportunities and threats generally relate to external
factors. For this reason, SWOT is sometimes called Internal-External Analysis and the SWOT Matrix is sometimes called an IE Matrix.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES: After completing the SWOT Analysis on the previous page, review your Competitive Advantage and your Organization-Wide Strategy to see if
adjustments should be made before moving on to the development of Strategic Objectives. At their broadest, strategic objectives serve an organization’s ambition. Your
company’s ambition is found in its mission and vision statements. These statements together describe the main thrust of your company and its ultimate goal, a goal that can
only be reached by successfully carrying out business. Strategic objectives are the steps and accomplishments that your company will complete to realize that ultimate goal.
Strategic business objectives are goals deemed most important to the current and future health of your business.
Often, the first step is to prioritize these objectives through a thorough analysis of business practices such as the SWOT analysis on the previous page. Though prioritization
of strategic objectives is unique to each individual business, common objectives do often exist. Five of the most common areas to focus strategic business goals are in the
areas relating to customers, financial resources, workforce (or people), internal processes (or productivity), and business ministry.

AAINTERNAL PROCESSES: Productivity
Productivity for any organization means fine tuning our business processes to achieve
the best result for a customer while increasing profit. As an example, a manufactur-
ing organization that fine tunes a process could reduce waste, reduce production
time, and in the end, make a better product that gets to the customer faster. A ser-
vice business that changes the way customers are handled can decrease call times
and increase customer satisfaction and loyalty.
CUSTOMERS: Increase Market Share
In order to grow, our business needs to increase its share of competitive markets.
Marketing plans start with the overall strategic business plan of our company, but
explains and details further how specific aims will be carried out. Marketing plans
address this through defining product or service offerings, researching target mar-
kets, analysis of competition, then strategically placing, pricing and promoting our
company’s offerings.
BB
FINANCIAL: Strengthening Resources
Included in the growth objectives of an organization is the availability of capital re-
sources to invest in future expansion projects. If our company’s financial resources
are strong, capital could conceivably come from cash reserves. For many organiza-
tions, strengthening financial resources means to build cash flow or increase assets
in order to attract investors and court creditors to fund growth as well as market
expansion.
CC
PEOPLE: Performance Management
The people within our organization are often our most important resource. The de-
velopment of an employee performance management plan may be paramount to
the success of our companies. In addition, programs that align employees’ compen-
sation – merit increases, bonuses – to their performance have proven to be very
effective. Motivating, rewarding, and retaining top performers is a key business objec-
tive for any company that seeks to successfully maintain or exceed growth expectations.

IMPLEMENTATION: The Action Plan
Our businesses cannot move forward without defining specific action steps to take them toward their goals and identified business objectives. Action planning involves
identifying the top objectives for our organizations, then developing specific, actionable objectives. Based on our three-to-five year Strategic Objectives that were established
in previous exercises, it is now time to develop our one-to-three year Organization-wide Goals (Action Statements). There should be at least one goal for each Strategic
Objective. Each goal should start with a verb (increase, reduce, provide, etc.). Remember, each of our goals should pass the “SMART” test meaning that each one must be:
SPECIFIC MEASURABLE ACTION-ORIENTED REALISTIC TIME-PHASED
CLEARLY STATED
GOAL OR OBJECTIVE
CHALLENGES IN
ACHIEVING THIS GOAL
METRICS USED
TO TRACK PROGRESS
RESOURCES NECESSARY
TO REACH GOAL
GOALONEGOALTWOGOALTHREEGOALFOUR
In order to make each objective truly attainable, it is important to include information such as the people responsible or resources necessary for implementing the overall
plan. Also consider the ideal frequency of reporting and how to best update others regarding the progress of entire action plan. Methods of communicating with team
members or consultants could include regular email reports, weekly or periodic status meetings, strategic planning meetings, real-time KPI dashboard reports, etc.
Based on this regular review cycle, take action to achieve success by implementing one or more of the following: A.) Celebrate successful milestones B.) Adjust time C.) Add/
Change Resources D.) Incentivize and/or encourage E.) Increase awareness of Goals, and F.) Hold responsible persons accountable.

2015 Business Strategy Guide Summary: At the end of the day, there are easy and hard ways to accomplish most things. This truism often proves itself as we lead the
companies entrusted to us by God. Using the assessment and planning processes included in this guide, we should be ready and fully prepared for the challenge of
creating and maintaining alignment across our entire company for the new year.
A final challenge: As stewards and servant leaders for Christ, our role involves providing a two-layered foundation for those who would follow us. First, we must
communicate the vision which continually helps to clarify our organization’s path forward. Although we may engage our team in developing certain aspects of this vision,
leaders are called to lead as the primary vision-givers, head cheerleaders, and direction-setters. We should consider the counsel of others, but can never fully delegate
this primary responsibility. We’re called to be stewards of all God entrusts to us and are expected to maximize God’s investment from an eternal perspective. Great
leadership in God’s kingdom is based on His purpose and principles that transcend our daily issues and circumstances. To lead effectively in the here and now, we must
remain connected to what’s eternal.
Secondly, we’re called to define good performance within the context of pursuing this vision. This involves operationalizing our vision, purpose, and values so that roles,
responsibilities, methods, recruiting, training, promotion, and compensation directly reflect these clearly-held principles. In other words, we need to ensure that aligned
performance is understood and honored. All workplace activity flows out of these two basic building blocks so vital to unified team performance: establishing vision and
direction, and defining good performance along the way. Clarity in these two foundational areas is essential!
Have you persuasively communicated to your team your heartfelt beliefs and standards with passion and commitment? Do you reinforce them and clearly live them out?
Have you developed your organization with these core principles in mind? Have you taken the time to clearly answer the three foundational questions to develop a team
with common understanding?
- Where are we going?
- How do we plan to get there?
- Why should we bother… for what purpose?
How can you communicate these things to your team in a manner that will help them to imagine the future, develop buy-in and trust, and see their involvement in this
success as a win-win proposition? Ask God to reveal to you the truth in each of these areas. He will show you as you pray and study His Word. Sometimes He will answer
through people who know you well, such as your spouse, close friends, or perhaps your C12 group peers.
Not in a C12 group? Give it a try in 2015 and you can make this absolutely the best year in your life. C12 is a unique, faith-based, executive peer advisory board made up
of CEOs and company owners that meet each month to study and share excellent business practices and solutions from a Christian perspective. As a C12 advisory board,
members learn how to better grow their businesses, to improve execution and to challenge, encourage and hold each other accountable as they become better leaders.
