Simplify your long-term strategy with a concise one-page plan for 2026. This focused document will provide clarity and direction for your business over the next three years.
A one-page plan condenses your vision, goals, and strategy into an actionable guide. It ensures you and your team stay aligned and focused on what matters most without getting bogged down in unnecessary details.
Why a One-Page Plan Matters
Crafting a one-page plan helps you:
Focus on top priorities for long-term success.
Communicate your vision and strategy clearly to stakeholders.
Create a framework for tracking progress toward big goals.
Step 1: Define Your Vision for 2026
Start by outlining where you want your business to be in three years.
This should include:
A clear and inspiring vision statement.
Key milestones you want to achieve (e.g., revenue goals, new markets, or product launches).
Your core values and mission that guide decision-making.
Ask yourself:
What does success look like for my business in 2026?
How will I measure progress along the way?
Step 2: Identify Top Goals and Strategies
Choose 3-5 high-impact goals to focus on for 2026.
For each goal, outline:
What you aim to achieve. Example: "Increase annual revenue by 30%."
How you will achieve it. Example: "Expand into two new markets and improve online sales channels."
Who is responsible for the goal?
Ask yourself:
Which goals will drive the most growth or improvement?
What strategies align best with my business strengths?
Step 3: Create a Simplified Plan
Organize your one-page plan into sections such as:
Vision and Mission: A concise statement of your purpose and long-term aspiration.
Key Goals: The top priorities for 2026 with corresponding strategies.
Metrics: How you will measure success for each goal.
Ask yourself:
How can I keep this plan clear and concise?
Does it address the most important aspects of my business?
