Vision -in a strategic plan is a
crystal clear picture that provides strategic direction of where you want your
company to be in the future.
Crystal
Clear - "In three years we are the company's top producing region” – with
that focus there’s no doubt where they’re headed. (Notice I said “are” not
“will be” – more on that later)
No
marshmallows - "to attract
customers we will offer superior service"- you’re doing What to attract Whom?
Goals - Are the action plan of specific
accomplishments that fulfills the vision.
Specific
Accomplishment – “We will increase sales to Fortune 500 companies 10% each year
for the next three years.” That provides sustainable growth.
Marshmallow
- "we will raise our sights to improve market share". Really! What
does that mean or accomplish?
Any
company that has a definite objective and has thought through the means to
achieve it is well on the way to success.
