P⁴ Business Plan™ (Fees Vary)

With a focus on the Quadruple Bottom Line of Purpose-People-Planet-Profit, your business needs a strategic plan.

We'll walk you through and manage the project every step of the way -- but collaboratively.  This isn't something you can "hire out" and expect to be able to order off the shelf.

How it works:

1. We'll meet briefly to learn more about your business and its challenges in all four focus areas. 
2. We'll do some in-depth market research to determine exactly where the low-hanging fruit are; who your competitors are; and how feasible your growth is.
3. We'll meet again in a full-day strategic planning session to uncover (from your perspective) your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.  We'll also prioritize your goals and strategies for the coming year(s).
4. We'll put together a written document that you can use to manage your marketing and operations for the coming year(s).
5. We'll help you undertake the process of implementing the plan and evaluating your progress.

What you'll gain:

Specific solutions, ideas and action steps in a written document that you can feel proud to share with all stakeholders -- including banks and other funding sources!

A P⁴ Business Plan™ is not your average business plan.  This plan looks at more than just profit and bottom line financial projections.  It also outlines your business purpose, as well as goals for how you'll impact people (your employees, vendors, the community) and the planet. 

Yes, all four of these focus areas can be measured and evaluated.  There is a social ROI that you should include as part of your business plan!
