PLANNING SESSIONS

Quarterly Planning Sessions

Each of the Four Foundations (in the above curriculum) is launched with a Quarterly Planning Session.

There are four sessions (quarterly ☺) per annum each with a different theme. All planning sessions feature the signature 1-Page Plan that lists out 3 core projects for the upcoming quarter and a scoreboard for monitoring results over the period being planned for.

Quarter 1:

The Launch Plan

Clients reflect on the year and put together a plan to make the new year their best yet. They will set goals for their business for income, freedom (time away from their business) and the scale they want to achieve. In this planning session there’s a particular focus on the business owner and their personal performance to ensure they have a plan for the role they have in leading others. This process leads into the completion of the 1-Page Plan.

Quarter 2:

The Scale Plan

Clients reflect on the previous quarter acknowledging wins and challenges. In this planning session the focus is on trouble-shooting key bottlenecks that can slow the growth of business development. This process enables all parts of the business to be evaluated for their performance. Goals are then completed around these projects before completion of the 1-Page Plan.

Quarter 3:

The Anti Plan

This session extends the focus on strategy to address the required shifts in attitude that produces new levels of success. Exercises allow the business owner to consider the environment they create for their team, the time they are committing to projects that have longer-term payoffs and the hurdles that slow down implementation of their plan. Goals are then completed around these projects before completion of the 1-Page Plan.

Quarter 4:

The Escape Plan

This session addresses the end-of-year period when many business owners will be looking to take a break away (hence “The Escape Plan”). Exercises and templates in this session put in place the people and system requirements in their business to allow the business owner to be absent from their business. The focus is on being able to take a break without the usual “checking in” calls that disrupt so many holidays. Goals are then completed around these projects before completion of the 1-Page Plan.
