The solution is simple: By getting your organization’s departments, their routines, and their schedules to coincide with an excellent plan of attack, and if you prioritize the tasks before you properly and with wisdom, you will be able to take successful steps that lead to the end result you and your team are seeking for your organization. ================= TABLE OF CONTENTS ================= Introduction I.....Ideation Future Plans & Strategies What is your mission & what do you do?
