PeopleFirst Helps Ag Business With Planning
A
BUSINESS PLAN SERVES AS A NECESSARY AND COST-EFFECTIVE way to improve stability during volatile times, which
can be frequent in the agricultural industry. “A lot of businesses are in a transition point right
now,” says Nicolas Buttars, PeopleFirst™ business solu- tions manager. “They really haven’t considered a plan that looks 3 to 5 years out. They are focused on an an- nual operational plan versus long-term growth.” Strategic Planning Services from PeopleFirst is avail-
able to help agribusiness owners, managers and veteri- nary clinics outline goals and achieve them. People who enter this program are taking steps to be-
come more profi table and more productive, Buttars said. The strategic planning process focuses on everything
from plan creation to implementation. Starting with an introduction to strategic planning, the curriculum continues with stages of activating the strategic plan
specifi c to your business or operation. After completing this curriculum, owners will walk away with a strategic intent statement, business objectives, core strategies, action plans and monitoring plans. To learn more about PeopleFirst Strategic Planning
Services, contact your Zoetis representative today and visit growpeoplefi
