Before you begin to implement your plan, define where you are and how that affects where you want to go. An assessment of the gap between where you are today and where you will be in the future will outline for you what you must do before change can occur and you fully reach your goals.
You can improve the success of your plan by understanding exactly:
- Your core processes customers will pay for
- The competencies of your leadership team
- How your team interacts
- Your corporate culture
- The morale of the organization or departments within the organization
- What changes you are asking your team to make
- How the organization is going to react to change
- How employees feel about their working environment and perceived necessary changes

Strong analysis of those snapshots can uncover the roadblocks between today and the future. Armed with this knowledge, you can make informed decisions about the journey ahead, based on your assessment of how difficult the road is going to be.
