If asked, could you succinctly and correctly answer these questions:

• Where do we want to go as a company?
  
• What do we need to do to make that happen?

Answers to these questions don't come easy. But, as an HR leader, it's important for you to be able to conduct an in-depth examination of these questions to get to the right answers.

That's where a business plan comes in. Whether the organization is just starting out or leaders are looking to revamp strategic objectives, having a thoughtfully designed business plan is a key to success. A business plan is useful for outlining business goals and what you plan to accomplish in the near and distant future.
