Traditional business planning models do not work well because they fail to provide managers with a single reference tool that consolidates all the business functions into one co-ordinated document.

Instead of repeating the same non-productive, tired planning conference year after year, try a different approach. You have the capability to create an active, powerful document that puts the entire company on the path to success.

This definitive book helps you clarify your management story; build a battle tested business plan; and start implementation activities toward sustained, successful performance. It provides:
