36、hould bemeasured by results.No matter howwell researched,beautifully written,orexcellently presented,what really makesa difference is how it impacts the resultsof the business.What Makes a Good Plan?Illustration 1-1 shows a business planas part of a process.You can think aboutthe good or bad of a pl
37、an as the planitself,measuring its value by its contents.There are some qualities in a plan thatmake it more likely to create results,andthese are important.However,it is evenbetter to see the plan as part of the wholeprocess of results,because even a greatplan is wasted if nobody follows it.The pla
38、n depends on the humanelements around it,particularly theprocess of commitment andinvolvement,and the tracking and followup that comes afterward.Im going todeal with those elements in comingchapters of this book.They are vital.Butfor now,lets look at the qualities thatmake the plan itself better or

41、s realistic?Nothing stifles implementationlike unrealistic goals.4.Is the plan complete?Does itinclude all the necessaryelements?Requirements of abusiness plan vary,dependingon the context.There is noguarantee,however,that the planwill work if it doesnt cover themain bases.Use of Business PlansPrepa
