Annual Strategic Planning
3 numbers. 3 commitments. 3 risks. One page.
Half-day in December. Quarterly 60-min review.
What it is
December planning ritual that produces a one-page operating plan for the year ahead.
When to use it
December annually. Or any time you've gone 12+ months without structured planning.
How it works
- 1.3 numbers: what KPIs define success this year (just 3)
- 2.3 commitments: what 3 things will you ship to move those numbers
- 3.3 risks: what 3 things could derail the plan
- 4.One page. Print. Tape to wall.
Outcome
Forces the discipline of deciding what matters. Quarterly review keeps it alive.
