The 1 Hour Plan for Growth
The book in one sentence
A growth plan doesn’t need to be a thick binder: a focused team can agree a one-page plan in about an hour, then revisit it every quarter.
Who it's for
Owner-managers and leadership teams of small and mid-sized businesses who know they should plan but find traditional strategic planning slow, abstract and quickly forgotten.
The big idea
Most business plans fail not because the thinking is poor but because nobody uses them. They are too long, written by too few people and filed away once the funding or the board meeting is done. Calhoon, a business strategist who has spent decades running planning sessions with organisations, argues for the opposite. Keep the plan to a single sheet. Build it together in a short, structured session. Then put it to work in 90-day cycles, reviewing and refreshing it as you go.
The full summary continues with the five ideas worth keeping, three things to try this week, the 5-minute deep dive and our full verdict, as a PDF to keep.
