Strategic Business Planning

Many top-end CEOs, COOs, and CFOs are terrific with business tactics. If you give these individuals single problems, chances are they can develop optimized solutions relatively quickly. Unfortunately, business tactics are relatively easy to execute, particularly if you have a dedicated staff, good data coming in, and smart technologies and softwares to extract trends from your data.

Unfortunately, business strategies, not tactics, by and large define business success. You need to know where to put your cash, how to distribute your personnel resources, and how to manage your market’s ever-changing environment. While you can look to in-house experts to develop strategies, it’s never a bad move to get a third party opinion on strategic business planning, particularly from a dedicated and experienced consultant with a terrific track record.

The FiscalDoctor is in to take your case! Contact Gary Patterson to develop and refine your strategic business plan. The FiscalDoctor is a master at business strategies–he has overseen the development of 92 (and counting) business plans for major mid-sized companies (including some firms on the Fortune 500 and the Inc. 500).

Of course, while the FiscalDoctor’s track records speaks for itself, you may not want to “hand over” control of your strategic business planning to a third party. No worries; Gary Patterson just makes recommendations–studied, truthful intuitions about your business. You can use him as a “second opinion” about a particular business problem or as a sounding board for regular renovations of your strategic business policies. Get your checkup, diagnosis, and treatment prepped today with the FiscalDoctor.

Break the Data Logjam and Give Boards Timely Information

February 21, 2008 – Boston, Mass – A recognized expert on corporate governance issues, President & CEO of FiscalDoctor™ Gary W. Patterson advises boards of directors to take the necessary steps to ensure that corporate executives provide them with timely and quality information well in advance of board meetings. Patterson describes these action steps in a recent article titled “Get Boards the Data They Need on Time,” which has been published in the February 2008 issue of Directors Monthly. Directors Monthly is produced by the National Association of Corporate Directors, a national non-profit membership organization dedicated to serving the corporate governance needs of corporate boards and individual members.

Underscoring that the quality of a board’s decision making is equal to the quality and timeliness of the information board members receive, Patterson cites many of the factors that contribute to the tardy distribution of board material. In light of these factors, Patterson offers the following steps that boards can take to facilitate the timely distribution of board material. They are:

Step One: Commit to breaking the data logjam
Step Two: Find out who worked on the logjam issue (or at least proposed solutions) in the past
Step Three: Streamline the collection, analysis, and distribution of data
Step Four: Simplify the board package
