New this Spring 2012: Success is defined as what you finish, not what you start.

Year long, in-house, follow along strategic plan implementation to guarantee the strategic goals are achieved.  The CBAP program director will provide ongoing oversight, project management, counsulting, mentoring, and continuing education to your CBAP team that goes through the program in the spring, and will provide that extensive support throughout the year following the end of the program.  You will have the benefit of his 30 years of strategic planning experience to apply all the elements of the program to make sure the marketing and sales, operations, and project level tasks are done so the goals of the plan are realized.  Success is defined as what you finish, not what you start, and this follow along support will make sure the plan is implemented!  (Only for the Spring 2012 CBAP cycle at no additional cost with a team in the program.)
