BUSINESS PLANNING SIMPLIFIED
Speaking
Start planning and executing—The Flamingo Way
Exhausted by over-engineered business plans that no one follows?
This energizing session flips that experience on its head. We simplify the planning process so that strategy doesn’t get stuck in a slide deck—it gets implemented. Whether you’re entering planning season or launching a new initiative, this session gives your team a practical framework to create a business plan that actually works.
Attendees Will Walk Away With:
- A clear understanding of what business plans are—and just as importantly, what they aren’t.
- Practical definitions of the seven essential components of a business plan.
- Insights into who should be involved in planning and how to keep the process inclusive and effective.
- A timeline that delivers a fully actionable plan in just 45 days.
- A framework to align your plan with marketing and BD strategy using a go/no-go lens.
- The confidence and clarity to start executing immediately.
Format & Duration
This session is highly adaptable: deliver it as a 60-minute energizing conference presentation or a half-day interactive team workshop.
Either way, you’ll leave with a shared language, a clear process, and a path to real results.
