As much as we try, there are some things that come naturally and some things that don’t.
One of those “love-it-or-hate-it” activities is business planning, also known as strategic planning. The whole point of doing this is to define your organization’s:
- overall direction (Strategy),
- which goals you want to achieve (Objectives),
- using which actions and resources (Tactics), and
- how you’ll know it was successful (Measures).
I abbreviate Vision, Mission, Values, Objectives, and Measures with the acronym VMVOM.
