A strategic business plan is best when it is a living, breathing document that you are constantly reviewing, updating, and tweaking. We rarely, if ever, execute the plan as designed - but without it, we don't know direction, intent, or have a starting point to take action from.
"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face." - Mike Tyson
Many businesses develop a long-range business plan to receive funding from their bank or an investor, and promptly store them away.
We believe strongly in keeping your plan current and reflective of the changes you have made in the business as you go.
Setting annual goals designed to get you closer to the 5-year target is critical for long-term success.
Where did previous year finish - what incremental gains are required to keep you on track? What adjustments need to be made? What needs to be added?
90 Days is about as far out as we can effectively create action plans (activity, target improvement, responsible party, due date). Once a quarter, we need to be building out new action plans to stay on track with our annual goals. Join us for GrowthCLUB workshop to create your plan.
Our clients excel as they benefit from consistent strategic plan coaching, business execution support, and detailed action plan development.
As recognized by our existing clients with a 100 Net Promoter Score since 2021, your West Texas ActionCOACH team specializes in executive-level strategic planning.
Each of our planning horizons (90-Day, Annual, 3-5 Year) needs to have a disciplined, structured approach to ensure that your business is consistent. The framework is the same - Assess-Plan-Activate-Review.
Just like your GPS needs to know both the starting point and the destination to map your drive, to build an effective plan for your business having a clear picture of where you are and where you want to go is critical.
In ActionPLAN (3-5 year planning software), Deliverables include:
Developing a full set of comprehensive plans across multiple disciplines ensures that your teams know and are aligned with objectives.
In ActionPLAN, Deliverables include:
Putting your plan into action is where the real work begins - and where plans fail. Clarity of what, by who, and by when allows you to be in control of plan execution.
In ActionPLAN, Deliverables include:
Great Sports Teams, Successful SEAL Teams, and great business teams have many things in common - one is that they take the time to review their performance and discuss ways to improve.
That review could be watching game film (sports), perform an After-Action review (SEALs), or review of the previous week, month, or quarter (business).
This [Strategic Planning] isn’t just a workshop—it’s a game-changer! We were provided a “living, breathing document” that we could use immediately to secure funding, align teams, or navigate market changes.
Through the [exclusive] ActionPLAN software we were able to generate cash flow forecasts, KPIs, and metrics - enabling real-time comparisons with actual performance every quarter after we created the plan.
I walked out [of GrowthCLUB] with a clear, actionable 90-day plan to drive profits and achieve goals faster than most businesses do in a year.

The end result will be a comprehensive plan for leaders, boards, and bankers or investors, clarity on outperforming past results, and a predictive tool to track and adjust financial outcomes, while enhancing your future plans through utilization of an interactive online plan.
90-Day planning is the centerpiece of all our planning, coaching, and execution. We focus on building out weekly execution plans over 13 weeks so that teams can easily see the goal, the action items, the deliverables, and defined success for the quarter.
A recent study of Executive Coaching in a Fortune 500 firm by MetrixGlobal reported a 529% return on investment and significant intangible benefits to the business. A survey by Manchester Inc. of 100 executives found that coaching provided an average return on investment of almost six times the cost of the coaching.
In another study conducted by MetrixGlobal LLC, companies received an average return of $7.90 for every $1 invested in strategic / executive coaching.
Our own internal benchmarks show 7-to-14 times return on our coaching services. The single biggest predictor of ROI is the time and effort investment by the client executives.
