In the Annual Operating Plan, you can keep all information in one place. Plan dates, contents and the person/department in charge. The Annual Operating Plan will give you an overall view and at the same time the ability to plan – so that you do not plan a strategy meeting before the reports from the various departments of the company are available, and you can plan and make sure that you have enough time for the annual report before deadline.
This Annual Operating Plan provides you with various levels of information and at the same time a print function making it possible to print with our without notes. The Annual Operating Plan can be printed in DIN A3 format. This format could replace the old-fashioned wall calendar in the canteen.
In short, you could choose whatever you want.
