Planning for 2010

Many people are assuming that 2010 will be better than 2009 because they believe that 2010 can’t be worse than 2009 has turned out to be.  However, success takes more than hope.  In fact, success takes more than dreams and hard work. 

Achieving the results you want your organization to achieve does happen by accident.  Achieving results requires two things.  First, successful companies use detailed but flexible plans to plot their course and direction.  Second, achieving results requires strategic thinking, not incremental thinking.

With an effective strategy, you get to choose your course instead of letting customers, competitors and market forces determine your results for you. 

So, will you decide your organization’s future or will you let your competitors decide it for you?
