The One Page Business Plan®
The One Page Business Plan takes a difficult process and makes it easy! It doesn't have to take agonizing meetings, pounds of documents, or endless spreadsheets to produce a meaningful business plan. A single page can contain all of the essential elements you need to successfully present your ideas.  New Point, Click, Plan web based software brings implementing your plan to reality.

Three Critical Questions:
    Can you clearly articulate where you are taking your business?
    Are your employees, partners, and investors on the same path?
    Is your business/organization producing the results you want?

Business Plan Myths

·         Primary purpose is for financing

·         Must be long to be good.

·         Can't find the most important information.

·         My business is too small.

·         It doesn't have to be in writing.

·         It’s easier for others to write plans.

·         You can and should do it all by yourself.

·         I can pay to have a consultant write it

·         Too much technical jargon.

·         Not enough focus on benefit to customer.

·         Path to Profitability unclear.

 

Let's dispel the myths:

·         Primary purpose is clarity and focus.

·         A single page can describe key elements.

·         All businesses start small.

·         It’s difficult for everyone!

·         You do not have to do it alone!

·         You could draft it today!


 Benefits 
• Less time is spent on planning…more on implementation
• Plans are more effective each manager has one that integrates to the consolidated plan.
• Communications are stronger between depts because everyone sees each others plans.
• With short learning curve, focus is on planning, implementation and results…not learning complicated methodology.
• Results are more predictable; everyone knows the plan.

One Page Planning Methodology 
• Use key words & short phrases
• Five elements that work together
• Provocative, simple guiding questions
• Never start with a blank page
• Fill in the blanks prompters
• Lots of examples
• Creative graphical tools
• Focus on what is important
• Create ownership & accountability

 Why One Page Business Plan® Works 
• Makes a complex process simple.
• Focuses people on what’s important
• Versatile – works equally well for projects, programs, depts., divisions, companies.
• Consistency – all use the same format
• Easy to update to reflect latest thinking
• Creates common language
• Process is very intuitive.

Implementation Suggestions 
• CEO’s should write their plan first
• Review draft w/ direct reports
• Solicit input, where you want it.
• Have direct reports invest 1 – 2 hours drafting their plan.
• Hold alignment meeting
• Make final changes to plans
• Hold monthly business review sessions to monitor progress.
• Minimize the fanfare …just do it!
• Remember…this is a learning process.  The plans & implementation will get better overtime.

 A Couple of thoughts…If it’s important enough to invest in having a manager or a team, we strongly believe: 
• Every manager/team must have a plan
• It is essential that it is in writing
• Using their words, not boiler plate
• And one page is enough!
