8 Steps to building your annual operating plan

An annual operating plan is a prized document. It's the blueprint for building your organisation in any given year. You wouldn’t build a house without architectural drawings. Unfortunately, many small to medium businesses or non-profit CEO’s run their organisation's with only a sketch of what they are building.

This webinar is aimed at CEOs of commercial and not for profit organisations with revenues between $1M and $40M and a functioning management/leadership team (i.e., 3+ managers) who don’t have a strong track record of strategic and operational planning.
