  • Key insights:

    Florence Cherruault (Founder of The Pickle House)
    As a way of increasing sales, companies should aim for a quarterly basis approach and then divide the goal into monthly targets.

    Slava Baranovskiy (Founder of ELIGENT SYSTEM)
    Make your short term strategy part of the long term strategy, logical and easy to follow.

    Dennis G. Lucan (Founder of DGL Group)
    Sometimes the daily tasks do not make sense without being part of the bigger picture. From time to time, remember to pause and think about the overall direction of the business.

    Polina Alexandrova (Entrepreneur)
    Breakdown long term strategy into smaller achievable steps and track the progress along the way. The tasks must be timebound and have deadlines.

    Vadim Rusin (International markets expansion)
    If you have a long term strategy, you must have an implementation plan with specific actions. You need to setup KPIs to track progress which then blends into a balanced score card.
