Your company's stability of growth is fundamentally dependent on the amount of planning you do.
However, knowing how to implement a business plan and what it should include is not always obvious. This NatWest Business Handbook provides you with a practical and detailed approach to the development of a business strategy. It demonstrates in a clear, step-by-step fashion how to develop an initial plan and how also to make planning an integral part of your organisation so that it becomes a continuous monitoring and control process.
Each chapter develops the plan in a structured and logical sequence, covering key issues for success and failure at every stage. The emphasis throughout is on the practical aspects of implementing a plan. The book includes:
