Everyone here at MDS would like to wish you, your families and your coworkers a very Happy and Prosperous New Year. Welcome 2013!!
All the gifts have been opened and the champagne bottles are empty…now what? As the American workforce makes their way back to the office, there is no better time to ask “What’s Next?” The New Year is a perfect time to reevaluate where you, your business or organization stands and most importantly, where you are going.
Take some time to begin this process with some very basic questions:
- What went right in 2012? How can you duplicate that?
- What went wrong in 2012? How can you make changes to avoid those things?
- What changes do YOU want to see in your career as well as your business? How will you accomplish those changes; more training and education, teaming with co-workers to implement new initiatives, taking some risks you have been contemplating?
It may seem like a cliché, but it is so true: The possibilities are endless!!
As you contemplate the above questions, we know you have high hopes and big dreams for your community and your business but you must do some proper goal setting to begin down the path to achieving those hopes and dreams. Remember the basics about goal setting: they must be measurable with a specific deadline and they must be attainable (realistic) yet challenging. And no goal is worth setting without a step-by-step plan to achieve said goal.
MDS can help you set goals for your organization through many avenues from operations analysis to identify areas for improvement to conducting Board Retreats and Strategic Planning sessions with your professional staff. MDS can also help you achieve these goals through program implementation, monitoring, training, and material for you and your staff.
We anticipate great things in the New Year ahead. Most of all we look forward to helping you establish and achieve your goals to make 2013 an even more successful year.
