Annual Planning That Doesn't Suck: Actually Move the Needle in 2026

Most plans die by February. In 60 minutes, learn a proven, no-fluff process to build a 2026 plan your team will actually execute

If your 2025 plan faded under “real life,” you’re not alone. This hands-on, 60-minute session shows you exactly how to craft a 2026 plan that is simple, focused, measurable—and designed to survive the chaos of Q1.

You’ll learn a practical framework you can run with your team the same week: set 3–4 company-wide goals, translate them into 2–4 leading KPIs per dept/person, identify the real gaps, and pick just a few initiatives that will actually move the numbers. We’ll also walk through a fast collaboration cadence to get buy-in without slowing the business down.

This webinar is the primer for our full-day 2026 Annual Planning Workshop: Build Your Roadmap for Growth, where we roll up our sleeves and finish your 2026 company plan together.

You’ll learn how to:

• Reverse-engineer 2026 targets from your 3–5 year picture (without fantasy math)
• Choose 3–4 macro goals that become guardrails for every decision
• Turn goals into leading KPIs that drive weekly action (per dept or per person)
• Run a quick gap analysis and pick 2–4 initiatives that close the gap
• Use a simple W-process to collaborate and lock buy-in across the team
• Convert plans into Q1 Rocks with milestones, owners, and a weekly drumbeat

Perfect for:

Business owners, founders, and leadership teams of service-based SMBs (typically $2M–$20M revenue) who want real growth, stronger execution, and more enterprise value in 2026.

• A fill-ready Annual Planning Playbook (templates + one-pager)
