BQE CORE AND TEIGER CONSULTING PRESENT
Your Business Blueprint: Creating a Plan to Succeed
Part 11 of the ‘Designing Your Business’ Masterclass Series
Available on demand
How many of us take the time to create, update and review our firm’s strategic plan? This does not have to be overly complicated, but you do need to put a flag in the ground and define where you want to go. Your strategic plan defines the overarching vision of your company and ensures that your team members know what they can do to make a difference and help your firm achieve its goals. It helps answer questions like: Who is our ideal client? What are our strengths as a firm? What are our leading and lagging indicators to track success along the way? During this session, Douglas Teiger, FAIA, will teach AE firm leaders how to select, tweak and manage essential KPIs in their strategic plans to set their firm up for success for years to come.
By the end of this session, you will learn how to:
1
Create a roadmap to develop a strategic plan.
2
List the “who, what, when, where and how” for ease in beginning this process.
3
Identify and explain an example of a strategic plan.
4
Evaluate what KPIs your firm should be tracking to ensure you will accomplish your strategic plan.
