Answer 1

Grab a piece of paper and do a SWOT analysis - strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Based on the SWOT analysis, managers select the strategies to best position the the organization to achieve its mission and goals. SWOT analysis is the first step in strategy formulation at any level. If this sounds like too simple of an idea to you, just think, an opportunity may be the price of a new software. Or it could be setting a different commission rate. Whatever you write down, be assured that it should not be a short list. Make it as through as possible. You should even ask for input if you desire, because someone else may know something that you don't.

You need to have a meeting to discuss what works and what doesn't work. Based on your SWOT analysis, an appropriate picture should come into focus as to how your company should plan for the future.

You need to determine what your major goals are. Then you need to determine what you want your company to be doing in 1 month, 2 months, 6 months, etc... Once you figure out what you need based on the SWOT analysis, then the picture gets even more colorful and sharp.

I know these are not anything specific. It is just a basic principle in Business School.
