The Life Of A Business Leader - EP18: Planning Success…Why failing to plan is like planning to fail!
play

11/12/21 • 39 min

Whenever you plan, you plan to succeed. The converse is also true. Whenever you don’t plan...you plan to fail!

In this provocative Talking Pathways episode, Iain and Royston debate the dos and don’ts for planning success including how planning can...

  • Massively accelerate your probability and strike rate of achieving your desired outcomes and end state
  • Drive better quality decision making
  • Allow you to hunt out the quick wins, celebrate marginal gains and build momentum
  • Enable agility through a ‘test and learn fast’ approach; and
  • Will guarantee you’re on the front foot and firmly in the driver’s seat

They discuss two golden gems centred on how the 80/20 principle applies to your planning success and why if Plan A doesn’t work, the great news is there are 25 more letters in the alphabet!
