The studies shaping private club finance.

So You Have a Plan, But Do You Have a Strategy?

Name the culture: who is this club, honestly, at its core. Build the strategy on top of it: given who we are, where are we headed, and what mindset governs our decisions from here. Only then build the plan: what does that direction require us to do this year. Do it in that order, and the plan becomes an expression of something bigger than itself. Do it in reverse, and the club ends up with a very organized to-do list, and nothing underneath it to hold the line when the list gets hard to follow.
