Planning for your individual Department without considering all Departments or creating a plan for the whole Store without getting the buy-in from each Department Manager will create a plan destined to fail.
First, it’s essential to have a plan, a plan that is designed to deliver success, but it’s just as essential to have a plan that has the buy-in of all the Department Managers. Our Planning Process Quick Tip gives you the steps to follow to ensure you create a plan that has the input and agreement of all the right people. A plan that is agreed and understood by Department Managers will have the best chance of being followed and achieved.
