Agenda

Bill Branson from Strategic Business Architects will be discussing the importance of business planning and showing how you can easily build a sound business plan that fits on one page.

The Winchester Mystery House: Making the Case for Business Architecture

At a cost of over $70 million and under continuous construction for 38 years, Sarah Winchester’s house grew to over 160 rooms, 47 fireplaces, 10,000 window panes, 17 chimneys (with evidence of two others), two basements and three elevators. The problem? The mansion is renowned for its size and utter lack of any master building plan. The result? Doors that open into brick walls or sheer drops, stairs that lead into the ceiling, and floors that do not line up from one room to another.

Unfortunately most businesses are like the Winchester Mystery House – built without a plan. The result? No business architecture and no business blueprints that create similar issues of things not lining up, dead ends, and lots of time and money wasted on rework or worse. The reason? Most business owners are daunted with the task of writing their plan so it never gets done.

Come join us where you will learn how to build a plan that fits on one page and answers 5 questions in 29 sentences. Come with an idea, leave with a plan!

About Strategic Business Architects

At Strategic Business Architects I thrive on helping business leaders and teams at all organizational levels and sizes make the most of themselves, their organizations, and their relationships –the three foundational catalysts I’ve found to be the most essential to the success of individuals, teams, and the organizations they work for.

I’ve built the programs and services I offer on proven, world-class tools and methods you can depend on for dramatic results that strike at the very heart of where it counts the most:

• Knowing and leveraging your strengths and the strengths of those around you using Birkman International’s personality tools and reports

• Focusing your efforts and time where it matters the most according to your written One Page Business Plan® and monthly business review meetings
