If you really want to make an impact, and go beyond the day to day – you need a goal and a plan. Otherwise you and your people will go to work each day and simply “react” to what’s coming at you. The good news is that business planning doesn’t have to be that hard, and that there’s a simple business planning template ready and waiting for you.
In Bruce’s book “The Best Leaders Don’t Shout“, he covers “the power of planning”. After 30 years as a high impact CEO, Bruce Cotterill has used and honed an incredibly simple one page planning template which he calls the (OPIAT). This process and tool has allowed him and his people to focus, and to consistently deliver on critical initiatives – without getting bogged down and lost in the day to day.

- Getting started: The most important question you will ever ask

This simple process and tool has the power to transform any business in an unbelievably short amount of time – without driving you or your people insane.
