Strategic Planning Template Tips
You will find that almost business
will develop their business plans their own way, some people
will write incredibly long documents while others will be
concise.
In reality not too many people will
read your analysis section, some people will argue that it
needs to be there, others will argue it does not need to be
there.
Tip 1
If you are new to a business or an industry, then
keep the analysis section in your plan and ask others
to critique it.
Tip 2
If you are updating a business plan
from last year you have two choices
-
Validate the analysis and where
your environments have changed, critique the relevance of
you current strategy, or
-
Do the analysis again and
develop your strategy fresh
(I Prefer the first of these two options)
