We like to find inspiration for our clients in the successes of many different kinds of businesses around us. At the beginning of the year, many businesses and departments are looking at their planning for the year and wishing it could be better and easier.
We like this article, from the world of advertising agencies, because it outlines basic tips for making strategy better and easier. The author, Michael Gass, talks about his experience in strategic planning for an ad agency and the practical tips he has learned. Most of it is very simple (but then the best ideas are).
We looked at this and decided it would be a good idea to outline how to tie this all together in a way that’s easy for clients to follow. In our upcoming newsletter, we describe a systematic five-step process to performance management that includes all these practical tips in an easy-to-follow outline.

“David Farrar was so wonderful to work with. We planned several seminars together and David always was approachable and pleasant. He has a rare ability to work successfully with all levels of management and employees. He is very well schooled in his areas of expertise. If I were planning to do a management seminar or workshop, David would definitely be at the top of my list of people to work with.”

“What a pleasure it has been to know and work with David. Our first encounter was at the Twin Cities Chapter of ASTD when he presented on Emotional Intelligence. His presentation was very well received and rated one of the best. Since then, David joined the Marketing Committee for ASTD-TCC and ultimately stepped into the role of director. His enthusiasm, willingness to dive in and help as well as his creativity all have a positive impact. Most important is David’s ability to lead. He builds such strong relationships that everyone he works with wants to do an excellent job in support of his vision.”
