Making plans...
Over the past few weeks Chris had suggested to me that I formalize my vision for Globat from a 30,000 ft POV and present it to our directors in one of our semi-weekly meetings. I really am a big supporter of planning on the financial end, but I am usually not so hip on the whole business-plan-in-detail idea (even though I agree that almost every business needs one). Plans, especially the ones from a 30,000 ft perspective, have a tendency to become "stale" with time and improperly viewed and executed might lead to a form of tunnel vision, which is something I have always tried to avoid. I want to keep our options as well as flexibility open, especially as far as the future of the company goes.
Having said that, it turned out to be a good exercise for my mind and a fun project to present to our team. Point well taken! I believe everybody understood where I was trying to take them and the next few months will tell how "stale" the plan really becomes (if at all). I'm excited to see and work with the group of talented people we have rounded up over the past year and the direction we are starting to take. I’m sure I’ll post more about it as time goes by.
