Business Plan - a business plan is a written document that describes in detail how a business - usually
a start-up – defines its objectives and how it is to go about achieving its goals. A business plan lays out a
written roadmap for the firm from marketing, financial, and operational standpoints.

To Implement a plan properly, managers and business owners should communicate clear goals and
expectations and supply employees with the resources needed to help the company or business achieve
its goals.
A. Improvement through change. The implementation of a plan brings about change meant to help
improve the company or solve a problem. The changes can occur to policies, management structures,
organizational development, budgets, processes, products or services. Change can help improve the
work environment and/or customer experience.
B. Good Organizational Development. Part of good organizational development involves all employees
in implemented changes. When a company shares its ideas and goals with workers, the workers will feel
a sense of ownership and loyalty to the company, as well as feel included in something important that is
larger than their respective job descriptions. Making workers feel valued also help maintain or improve
employee retention.
C. Increased Interdepartmental Cooperation. It will be easy for a department within a business to work
independently and only rely on another department when the need arises, particularly in large
companies. Business implementation helps unite departments, open the lines of communication, create a
diverse culture within the organization and increase efficiency and productivity.
D. Setting Clear Priorities. Priorities are generally based on due dates, client needs, financial concerns,
worker needs or logistics. Deadlines help guarantee the implementation of a plan with realistic due dates,
but a company must provide its workers with clear action steps and resources to ensure the success of
the plan. Failure to communicate priorities can cause inefficiencies, miscommunications, worker
frustration and low morale. When priorities or deadlines are realistic, employees feel as if a company is
setting them up for success.
E. Moving a Company Forward. Business implementation is important for moving a company forward,
as is not underestimating the importance of implementation planning. When a business fails to implement
and execute its strategies properly, it fails to move forward and grow. According to website Business
Balls, to implement and execute a plan successfully, there must be "motivational leadership," a plan of
action and "performance management."
