A roadmap to agility, adaptability, and success

Would your business operate differently if every team member understood the big picture goal, how you plan to achieve it, and how they contribute to its success? Yes, it would. What if you had a clear, concise business plan that states your desired market position and can adapt when the market suddenly shifts? That would be a game changer, and that’s what we call BLUEPRINT.

BLUEPRINT is a concise tool that captures your big, stretch goals along with your execution plan, identifying potential challenges and determining the critical metrics needed to track progress.

Who Should Participate

BLUEPRINT was designed for the leadership teams of companies that are in rapid growth, as well as companies who have lost momentum or lack direction. It is the perfect companion to a newly formed advisory board that wants to make a big impact, quickly, and will also help the next generation of leadership step into an “ownership” role – gaining visibility and confidence. Invite up to eight cross-functional decision makers to participate, or, include members of your advisory board if you have one.

What should you expect?

BLUEPRINT is designed for execution. Participating companies will develop their “BLUEPRINT,” a one-page tool that communicates the vision and prioritizes the execution plan, metrics to measure progress, and a communication framework for both internal and external audiences.
 
  • Part One: Business Lifecycle, SWOT Analysis, Core Strength
