The One Page Plan And Why You Need It

If you asked 10 employees what your company’s vision and action plan is for this year or the upcoming year, could they tell you? Would you get 10 different answers?
 
If they can’t, or if their answers are not aligned, then I can almost guarantee your organisation’s growth and ability to scale is limited. Here’s why. Even if YOU have a clear vision of where you want your company to be in one, five or ten years from now, without a strategic plan that unites everyone, that vision is just a dream.

In order to scale and achieve your company’s vision, you need to easily communicate a strategic plan to all your employees, so everyone can stay focused and aligned. This might be easy during the early days of having just a handful of employees, but becomes significantly harder as your company grows.
