There are many 'plans' that seek to help manage a business. The business plan, themarketing plan, the strategic plan, the project management plan, etc. All tools to that use different techniques to answer the three fundamental questions: - Who am I ? and Where am I today ? - Where am I going ? - How am I going to get there ? I got tired of over-used business plans that nobody reads. Tired of marketing plans based on wishful thinking. Tired of task-based project management plans that narrow-mindedly didn't take into account the company's vision. Tired of strategic plans done during plush retreats with a select few that were disconnected with their corporate reality. Throughout my career, I have looked to integrate those 'plans' into one comprehensible, integrated, 1-page model. It's an ambitious idea : develop a model to unite all models. Particularly, I focus on the inter-relationships between the different parts of the model. How does one part of a plan affect the others ? After years of research and vulgarising exercises, I give you the (continually developed) Integrated Strategy Model (ISM). This model has been tried and tested with many client cases, refined through my experience. I have extensively documented the description, the process and the how-to of each box as well as the reasoning behind each link. It will be updated and tweaked.

We understand that being a student can sometimes be difficult. You have all the different classes you are taking with their readings, lectures, tests, projects, and essay writing requirements.

Every project starts with a proper plan, to be more specific it should be accomplished by preparing a proper schedule so that the business model would definitely be success. The diagrammatic representation was so useful for a starter. Good work folks. Regards

Thanks for the comments, guys. I will also add OxyClean as a good way to go for stains and such. This was mentioned a few times in comments on another post.
