Its some time since we wrote our article - our views - on business plans. Business plans seem to be invented in order for a Company to obtain money or support. Not bad reasons in themselves but unfortunately most Companies tend to forget about this valuable document / information.
An EMS answer is to have a business operating plan (BOP). This document helps the business owner have a plan of how he or she intends to bring the aims of the business to reality - a route map. Of course like most plans it needs regular review to check the actions are taking the company in the right direction. If not then change the plan and check assumptions made originally.
If you need help you know where to come.
