Key Issues in BusinessPlanning    
In our work as strategic consultants we often see companies facing similar challenges when drawing up their strategies:

 
Memory
Documentation; data is not stored in one place		  
Planning Tool
Inconsistent planning templates used across divisions		  
Embedment
No connectivity between strategy and day–to–day decisions
BusinessMap ensures that you and your team can get the data and information you need, when you need it
Time
A time consuming and laborious planning process
People
Involving key employees, not just executive management
Adaptation
Competence to read, understand and interpret data 		 
Focus
Lack of focus on the Key Initiatives that create shareholder value		  
Responsiveness
Limited agility and speed when responding to market changes
