Monthly Full-Day Training Sessions

Appendix A

All organizations run best when the correct decisions are made in the following areas:

  1. People: Build your team’s performance
  2. Strategy: Build a business model that is profitable and drives growth.
  3. Execution: Stay focused and implement all the critical elements of your strategy.
  4. Cash: Keep a strong cash flow to drive growth.

We call these the “Four Decisions™”.

In pursuit of your goals, we will teach you to identify them clearly in order to prepare you to develop and implement your “One Page Strategic Plan.” Your long-term business goals and the required short term actions will then be aligned.

As you develop your One Page Strategic Plan, we’ll guide you to identify company’s particular requirements in the areas of People, Strategy, Execution, and Cash. In preparation for potential business growth opportunities, we’ll provide training to help you identify the essential skills and knowledge needed to make the most of these opportunities. We’ll also take note of any knowledge gaps that may arise during this process and educate you on how to identify and rectify them.
