Plan Today For Business Success Tomorrow
A business's strategic plan is not just an annual checklist—it's an ongoing conversation that evolves with market conditions & is continuously reassessed to meet your goals.
Recognizing the importance of this principle, Walmart Business has published our Business Priority Planning Guide. Designed as a comprehensive handbook, it provides operational insights, planning prompts & expert guidance to help businesses gain clarity & make informed decisions.

The guide provides four steps to help simplify the strategic planning process:
- Go paperless: Embrace the digital era & cut down on unnecessary paperwork
- Put repetitive processes on autopilot: Automate routine tasks to improve productivity
- Turn administrative headaches into productive habits: Transform complex operations into manageable routines
- Focus on details while seeing the big picture: Balancing detailed operations with overarching strategic goals

Your goal is to identify what's working & what’s not across all areas of the business & take steps to make the necessary changes. The guide includes several worksheets to help in that process, including:
- Business Review: An inclusive checklist to review your business's current status
- Build Your Business Calendar: A useful worksheet to plan & schedule your business operations
- Goals Checklist: A handy tool to list, track & accomplish your strategic goals
