The 4 Piece Operating Plan
Build Complete Plans That Actually Work
You’ve seen it happen. A plan that looked great on paper struggles when you try to use it. The team is confused. The tools don’t work together. Nobody knows quite what’s happening. The plan wasn’t wrong—it was incomplete. Or you might have never had to build an operating plan. It’s hard to know where to start. The good news? Once you know what to look for, you can build clear, complete plans every time.
Most plans struggle because they’re missing at least one of four critical pieces: People, Tools, Processes, and Communications. Miss even one, and you create gaps that derail your work before it starts.
