Thames Valley Business Survey

Business Doctros recently undertook a survey of local businesses and some worrying issues were raised.
1. Only 15% of respondants believe that they have a strong and robust 3+ year strategic plan in place.
2. Only 52% belive that they have organisation structure, job roles and individual objectives fully defined and aligned with their strategy
3. Only 21% belive that they hace succession plans in place!!!!!

So much more to the survey results but I do wonder whether SME business owners really invest in their people, the future of their company or whether it is live for today and something will happen to correct itself later?
