Welcome to Business
Stage 3 Develop your plan
Once you have decided on your strategy,
the next stage is to develop your plan.
Be sure to use non-technical language,
making it accessible and easy to
understand by everyone. The plan should
enable you to restore your business to
an acceptable level of activity,
keeping your critical activities going
until such time as you can return to
normal business.
It is important to update your plan regularly: you do not want to be in a crisis with an out of date plan. Remember, it will need to be updated when key personnel change, when you move to a different location or when your key clients or suppliers change. You might wish to expand it and add local information, or fresh ideas to make it even more useful.
