			<div class="fl-callout-text"><p>“I’m not going to exit for years. Maybe never!” There are two big problems with these common statements. I’ll take the easy one first</p>
<p>1.	We are all going to exit our business. One of the “5Ds” is inescapable (death), and by not preparing your family and business, you leave a mess as your legacy. It doesn’t have to be that way.</p>
<p>2.	Yes, you are doing a lot right now, so why bother taking on the extra work to prepare for an exit? Imagine your current workload AND gathering documentation, preparing your team for a change, talking daily with your M&A team, meeting with prospective buyers, and then following up on their information requests. Not fun, and it’s almost guaranteed your business will suffer, lowering the value. </p>

			<div class="fl-callout-text"><p><strong>1. How will you and your family adjust to your new routine?</strong><br />
We have faced challenges during COVID-19, adjusting to spending more time together and adapting to new routines. You and your family must set expectations and consider your new 'normal'.<br />
<br />
<strong>2. What time frame did your personal plans cover?</strong><br />
Sellers often talk about the fantastic once-in-a-lifetime vacation they will take or building their dream home. But what then?<br />
<br />
<strong>3. What happens to your self-image?</strong><br />
Owners are used to being the focal point of a fast-paced business environment, which has considerable status and reward. When that changes, what will you say when people ask, "What do you?"<br />
<br />
<strong>4. Did you get enough to live your dreams?</strong><br />
Understanding how much of a nest egg you need to live as you want and care for your family is critical. Did you exit too soon without maximizing the value, or should you have adjusted your expectations?<br />
<br />
<strong>5. Are you second-guessing your decision?</strong><br />
It's tough to leave a business you've invested sweat, tears, and too many hours into. Should you completely exit the business or take a 'second bite of the apple'? Did you understand your options? Did you miss out on the chance to leave a charitable legacy?</p>

<p>Your planning must consider the following environments:</p>
<ol>
<li>While 'shelter in place' continues</li>
<li>When restrictions are eased. How will your business function?</li>
<li>Will we go back to 'shelter in place'?</li>
<li>All businesses are open.</li>
</ol>
<p>Developing an operational and financial plan allows you to make proactive data-driven decisions on how to keep your cash flow positive and to be prepared for future changes.

<p>3) Pursuing multiple courses of growth and using prototyping</p>

			<div class="fl-callout-text"><p>Sidney Yoshida's 1989 study found that executives only know 4% of the internal problems their organization has. This is down to three main factors:</p>
<ol>
<li>The "<a href="https://psychology.iresearchnet.com/social-psychology/social-cognition/mum-effect/">mum effect</a>" - we are uncomfortable delivering bad news, especially when reporting issues to our boss.</li>
<li>There is only so much time to communicate.</li>
<li>We think we know and understand what is going on (superstitious learning).</li>
</ol>
<p>If you only know of 4% of the problems in your organization, how can you make effective decisions which will drive meaningful change?</p>

<ol>
<li>Align culture, purpose, and values at all levels, so you can comfortably delegate</li>
<li>Empower and encourage decision-making at all levels to empower your organization</li>

<p>Strategic planning requires you form a baseline of a risk-reward balance and use this to determine which of your portfolio of options are a suitable investment. To effectively implement this, you must engage the knowledge and expertise that exists at all levels within the organization, not only for a better understanding but also to gain commitment.</p>

<p>A review of their hiring and on-boarding process revealed issues in three key areas:</p>
<ol>
<li>Design of the job descriptions was functional and did not inspire candidates to apply</li>
<li>Selection processes were focused the organization's needs, not what the candidate was looking for</li>
<li>Selection processes did not offer the candidate a realistic view of what the job was like, leading to a high drop out rate</li>
</ol>
<p>A redesign of the process to focus on organizational purpose focused on these areas:</p>
<ol>
<li>What would inspire the candidates to apply?</li>
<li>Hiring managers had to keep the organization's purpose in mind and take time to understand if the candidate was interested in that vision.</li>
<li>Requiring candidates to shadow staff so they knew what the upsides and more importantly, the downsides of the job were.</li>
</ol>
<p>The result was a 20% increase in retention of new hires.</p>
