Most people would probably agree that the last few years have been full of unexpected challenges. Covid-19, the energy crisis, and inflation are examples of things that have forced us to be more adaptable than ever and it can be hard to plan ahead. Does that mean we should avoid spending time on planning next year? Absolutely not! It is even more important to have an overview of the upcoming plans to get an idea of how the rhythm of business can be affected by the challenges we face.
New year - new plan?
In many cases, the organization already has an established rhythm where many activities are repeated each year. This means that there is already a flow in the work process helping to ensure efficiency and therefore there is no reason to create a brand new plan at the beginning of the year. Instead, you just need to visualize the rhythm to get an overview of next year.
Simple planning with the circular calendar
A circular calendar will visualize and support the rythm, that can be found in most organizations. The circular calendar gives a good overview, of which processes are to be completed throughout the year and how the organization reaches their wished results.
This means that it is no longer necessary to use so much time planning the upcoming year. With Plandisc you can easily create a circular calendar for the new year, based on your previous year’s calendar.
Synchronize your Outlook-calendar
The circular calendar can easily be created from Outlook. Plans from the Outlook-calendar can easily be communicated by synchronizing the Outlook-calendar with the circular calendar. This creates transparency throughout an organization, as plans from different departments is easily accessible for everyone.
