QUESTION
Description
Please use the attached plan as a reference and read the following:
For strong, successful marketing, you need to connect your goals with the outcomes of various marketing activities so that you can measure your degree of success on a regular basis. To accomplish this, it’s necessary to design measurable objectives and specific key performance indicators (KPIs) that will help you both stay on track with your marketing plans and tell you if you are achieving your goals in the timeframe you desire.
As you reflect on the idea of a successful organization, it’s easy to think of a perfectly in-sync performance, well-oiled machine, or a strong team all doing their part. Unfortunately, in both work and life, sometimes our focus and attention become derailed. Maybe it’s mental overwhelm, a sudden change at work, or an unexpected event. These types of experiences can lead us to feel off-balance, out of alignment, or basically unproductive. Our focus falls out of alignment and we wonder how we can continue to produce our best work under these circumstances?
When we experience this misalignment or DIS-Harmony, we put at risk our brand message, our decision-making, our energy and especially our livelihood. By focusing on continually supporting the elements that make up a business and life in harmony, we have more successful experiences.
To transform our business into a more cohesive setting, it’s good to back to the beginning and ask three essential questions:
Who We Are?
Where We Are Going?
