90 day plans

Well, the summer is over for us in the north. I think there has been a mistake worrying about global warming. The issue seems to be global 'wetting' or even, in the Gulf of Mexico, global 'winding'. Not to mention turbulence in the money markets.

So it is back to work for us all – even university students are returning to 'freshers weeks' or, as I saw yesterday, 'welcome weeks'.

What is going to be different for you now? I have had a very productive time during the quiet period of the summer holiday. Over the last few years I have focused more and more on working with directors and boards. Now, we have created a new section of our web site dedicated to this activity. We describe the roles and responsibilities of directors and boards, general training and development, and specific needs of new directors. In addition, we have differentiated board retreats from corporate retreats. I hope that you will have a browse.

I am training as a master practitioner in wealth dynamics, about which I shall tell you more in the future. A first step is to join a boardroom club as experience for when I launch one next year. This is a twelve month group activity dedicated to helping the group significantly improve its earnings. The club meets quarterly and supports each member in preparing and implementing a 90-day plan.

Here are some notes about what you should consider in preparing your 90-day plan: -

• Your goals and the strategic projects necessary to achieve them.
• The critical resources necessary to carry out the projects.
• The players who have accepted responsibility for the projects.
• Milestones and signposts along the way
• The results that enable you to measure success of the projects.
