As we roll forward with January 2010, I must stop and ask – Are your doing the TWO Step? More specifically – which TWO Step?
There is the two step where you take one step forward and two backward or two steps forward and one step backward or maybe in 2010 you can focus on taking one or two steps forward with out any going backward.
To accomplish this last desired outcome you must have a plan to keep the steps moving forward even in the face of adversity. With all the possible events to distract or create tangents for your strategic plan, you need to keep your tactics driving your results toward your planned outcomes.
Much like driving your car to a destination, you are likely to encounter construction or accidents or even road closures. Do you stop and call it a day or do you quickly redesign your driving route to get to your final destination.
2010 will have its share of challenges. Actually every year is filled with a variety of curves in the road. The ultimate question you must ask yourself – Are you ready to navigate them effectively or guess?
This coming week, take a look at your 2010 plans again. If they are not already grouped into key or critical priority categories take that step first. Make sure each one has a means to measure progress. Set up a timetable to review your progress and make adjustments.
Your plans are not static documents. They need to be agile. They need to be open to improvement when your input sources bring new light to your business indicators.
Like dancing the two step, if the pace of the music changes your business MUST be ready to move with the new pace and not in a backward direction.
