In a Planning Cycle you have all the important, coming events and activities in one place. You plan the dates, the contents, and who should be responsible. A Planning Cycle will help you keep control and at the same time the possibility to plan, so that you will not be in the position, where you plan a strategy meeting before you have the reports from the various departments of the company. This way you can make sure to have enough time for the annual report before deadline.
This Planning Cycle will enable you to have different levels of details. You will be able to print the Planning Cycle with or without notes – and in a DIN A3 format. This DIN A3 format could be the replacement of the old-fashioned wall calendar in f.inst. the canteen. In short, you can choose exactly as you wish.
A Planning Cycle may consist of the following elements:
– Forecast
– Follow-up on budget
– Preparation of the annual report
– Employee appraisals
– Christmas party
– Staff meetings
– Board meetings
– Management group meetings
– Financial forecast
