- Who are we? (Define our why and core values)
- What is it we are going to do to bring value?
- What resources to we have at our disposal?
- What can we develop or create?
- What is our customer experience?
- Develop one-page game plan for 1-3 years that defines how we are going to accomplish the goals outlined in the vision plan. The plan should be looked at frequently and updated annually
- Define and engage those who can help us get where we want to be
- Build a team of 3-5 individuals in your business or close to your business that have diverse skills and perspectives that can help us see the strengths and weaknesses in our plan and help us make the desired changes
- Join and participate in a peer community who can help us develop or polish our skillsets, with which we can be vulnerable and allow ourselves to be accountable.
