Could Your Company Benefit From Implementing a Results-Based System?

Whether you are a small business owner, leading in a large complex organization or part of a team within the company, The One Page Business Plan® and our Ideal Client Profile can assist you. They efficiently and effectively help get your business plan on one page in a quick and stress-free way.

Plan Development

Your One Page Business Plan is a proven business tool that uniquely links FIVE important business concepts: business planning, marketing, strategy, accountability and execution. It's SIMPLE and it works because:

  • Executives, managers and staff members can have The One Page Business Plan, just a click away.
  • Results for every objective are tracked using online Performance Scorecards that are viewable by supervisors.
  • The critical action plan produces an Online Progress Report.
  • Color codes help you see the status of plans "at a glance."
  • No excuses! As long as your staff has access to a computer, they can update their process weekly!

Performance Management System

One of the most neglected aspects of a business plan is the failure to review the plan -- at least weekly. Reviews leads to action, change,and growth. Our management dashboard gives you a quick visual overview of how your plan lives up to real-world results.

Compare past performance with your target and actuals. Keep track of your action plans anywhere you (or your staff) have an Internet connection. It's all online for you to review.

One Page Business and Marketing Plan

"Love it!!! The One Page Business Plan is terrific - it's an out and out winner. Period. It's a powerful living document, the very nature of which has led us to important new insights in our company." -Tom Peters, author of In Search of Excellence

A Flexible System

The methodology can be used by home business owners, corporations, departments, divisions, and cross-functional teams to create:

  • Strategic Plans
  • Operations Plans
  • Training & Development Plans
  • Sales Plans
  • New Product or Service Plan

Track the results of every key objective

Each Objective has a Scorecard. The system uniquely links plans and performance reporting in a very simple, yet highly effective manner. Just click on any objective and create a One Page Scorecard. The scorecard shows actuals, budget, forecast and last year actual, both graphically and quantitatively.

"As a banker, I love The One Page Business Plan. I know the potential business owner is serious, committed, and professional. This is truly a break-through in business planning!" Jerry Rickets, VP Scotts Valley Bank

Track the Status of a Critical Initiative or Project

Every Action Plan has a Progress Report that will never get lost in the mail! For each action plan, create and monitor its progress. As long as you're by a computer, you can review a plan or update it.

Total Accountability - Status of Every Plan at a Glance

Learn how each manager is executing their plan in a click of your mouse. Click on their name and display their plan, scorecard and progress report. This feature facilitates the quick assessment of monthly, quarterly and year-to-date results and progress.
