Channel Eye has joined forces with Royston Guest, leading Business Growth Coach and CEO/Founder of Pathways Global, in our column, ‘Ask the Business Coach’
Business success is not an accident. You cannot leave it to chance.
Following a business planning cycle will help you create an action plan for your business, the strategic goals, milestones and steps needed to drive your business forward.
The big three takeaways!
- Great leaders can look around corners(!)
- The planning cycle should incorporate a 3yr – 12mth – 90-day approach.
- Alignment between your strategic and tactical plans is critical.
