The Future of Planning & Performance
Stevan Browning • October 14, 2019
Planning and performance management processes... you either love them or hate them.
They are a beautiful thing when they create unified focus and alignment across your company. They can also be incredibly frustrating, consume a tremendous amount of time...and have little benefit!
In this executive briefing we would like to introduce you to The One Page Business Plan, what it is, how it works and why it may be useful to you and your company. We hope you find the techniques we have developed over the last seventeen years and used with thousands of business owners and executives to be helpful. We have learned that the concepts of One Page Planning work equally well in large companies like Disney, Oracle, America Online and Morgan Stanley as they do with small to mid-market companies. The process also works incredibly well with non-profits, hospitals, school districts and government agencies.
Most of us have no shortage of good ideas! The issue is which ideas are we going to act on? Learn how to say no to “good ideas”...yours, and your employees’. You only have time, money and resources to execute against the “great ideas”. The great ideas can be written on the back of an envelope. They are memorable! They catalyze people and businesses.
Planning doesn’t need to be complex! Keep it simple!

Presentations are crucial to any business. Whether you create corporate presentations, sales pitches, investor decks, or marketing materials, how you present your information can make or break a deal. Understanding what you present is essential for ensuring your message is clear, engaging, and compelling to your target audience. By carefully crafting your content, visuals, and delivery, you can ensure your audience understands the key points you are trying to convey. This is particularly important when pitching to investors, as they need to quickly grasp your business's value proposition to make an informed decision. A professional presentation helps build credibility and trust with your audience. A well-designed and well-delivered presentation can demonstrate your professionalism, attention to detail, and expertise in your field, establishing your brand as a reputable and reliable source of information, which can be vital to winning over potential clients, investors, or partners.

By investing time and effort into creating compelling and visually appealing presentations, you can differentiate yourself from competitors and leave a lasting impact on your target audience. In conclusion, understanding the importance of your presentation is essential for success in today's competitive business landscape. By creating clear, engaging, and professional presentations, you can effectively communicate your message, build credibility with your audience, and stand out.
