Leverage Proper Planning to Elevate your Landscape Business
Most businesses struggle with planning
Here at Knowledge Tree Consulting, we’ve learned that many small businesses struggle with one major thing: planning. Often, they don’t know how to plan properly, they don’t set up a planning schedule, and they don’t ask the right questions. We believe planning isn’t just another task—it’s essential for running a business smoothly. This is why we structure our planning across various levels: daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, biannually, and annually, with a special focus on annual and weekly plans.
We’ve seen firsthand how regular planning helps our landscape business (Oriole Landscaping), and that of our clients. It reduces stress, improves how we communicate, and makes our operations run better. More so, it keeps our team happy and well-trained, helping us all work towards our common goals more effectively.
We use different meeting types to prevent WASTED time
In our meetings, we make sure they’re varied and organized. We have ideation meetings where we brainstorm, training sessions to learn new skills, and operational meetings to discuss day-to-day activities. This structure helps us stay focused and efficient.
We use pre-planned structured meetings for efficiency
Regular, structured meetings are crucial for us. They help us catch mistakes early, solve problems as they come, and plan for the long term. We also let different team members lead meetings, which helps everyone develop their leadership skills.
Every year, we make sure our planning covers everything from our budget to our sales strategies and team growth. We even use tools like the Myers Briggs test to better understand and build on our team’s strengths.
We improve every single day
Continuous improvement is a big part of our philosophy. We use methods like Kaizen and Six Sigma to keep enhancing our operations, sometimes with the help of outside experts to make sure changes are implemented well.
We believe it’s essential to create a culture that values structured planning. At KTC, we’re committed to providing the tools and systems that help us and other businesses plan effectively, manage today’s challenges, and prepare for future opportunities.
