One Page Business Plan
The one page business plan is an innovative approach to business planning that captures the essence of any business, project or program on a single page using key words and short phrases.
Most companies use the process to create not only the overall plan, but to also create plans for each supporting department, project and program. The flexible methodology makes it possible for entrepreneurs, business owners, executives, managers and professionals in every organization to have a plan. The standard format makes it easy to review, compare and understand plans.
One page business plans work because:
. plans actually get documented
. plans are understandable
. plans are easy to write and update
. every team has a copy
The process creates:
. alignment
. accountability
. results
Planning is a process not an event!!!!!!!!!!!!
