OAAP members are off to a
quick start this week the return to work last January 4, 2016. As 2015
whizzed by, some of the strategic planning duties were postponed to this
January.
The annual
planning process plays an essential role. In addition to formulating at
least some elements of a company’s strategy for the next 12 to 18
months, the process results in a budget, which establishes the resource
allocation map; sets financial, operating, and marketing targets, and
aligns the management team on its strategic priorities. The operative
question now is as companies go for the preparation of the strategic
planning event, how can they plan properly for the brands they are
pushing and the markets they are trying to conquer if they don't begin
with understanding the media habits of their target audience and
consumers?
This is where the input of three people come in. Gabs Buluran, Jay Bautista, and yours truly, Lloyd Tronco.
