Are you concerned about job related stress? 
Are you troubled by unrealistic expectations?
 Are you worried about your company's future?

Is your day-to-day stress level getting too high?

If so, you've come to the right place. Here you'll find cost-effective, "win-win," strategic planning training to help
you and your company reach their full growth
and earning potentials while transforming
your work into fun again.  


 Do you want to optimize personal and company success? If so... you need to identify and master the basics of your business and profession. Many historic, recurring day-to-day problems (perhaps the same problems that plague your operation) can be permanently eliminated by a tenacious execution of Bill Gaw's  strategic planning training.

"We must constantly retool ourselves, become
 perpetual students, or we risk becoming obsolete."
                                                                        Price Pritchett

If you've ever said, "There must be a better way." 
... there is, and it's not more computerization!

A manufacturer's success is directly related to how well it masters the basics of strategic planning and tactical execution. These BASICS provide the foundation for optimizing system and process results. Without a tenacious execution of these BASICS, there's no way a company will reach its full growth and earnings potentials. EVER!

It's the Basics, Friend!

I realize the word "BASICS " is not very sexy. But it is a very important thing to understand. 


Many years ago Vince Lombardi led the Green Bay Packers football team to unprecedented success by having an almost obsessive focus on doing the BASICS very well. 

It’s amazing how many individuals and companies have great visions yet fail to achieve their full growth and earning potentials. They're a lot like the Green Bay Packer's football team before the arrival of Vince Lombardi... all the potential in the world but with no focus on executing the basics of their profession. 

The fact is, the basics of strategic planning... the things that serve as a solid foundation for growing and enduring success have not changed since before I was born... and won't change after you're dust.

It's tempting to think that they do... that the introduction of a new change initiatives like Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relations Management, (CRM) and Six Sigma can change the basics.

I understand the temptation.

I can only caution against it, and invite you --- urge you --- to be a serious student of history in both the evolution and revolution in manufacturing.

Mastering the proven basics of what has worked in the past will give you the foundation needed to predict what will work today... and tomorrow!  

Mastering of Bill's strategic planning basics can help you and your company reach their full growth and earnings potentials. Best of all, work will become fun again.    

 "The more you know how to do, and 
the better you do it, the more valuable you become."
                                                                             Price Pritchett

The Strategic Planning, Back-to-Basics,
Powerpoint® Plus, e-Training Package

Featuring: Bill Gaw's e-Tutorial, "The 10-Basics of
Strategic Planning and Tactical Execution"

Self-Paced Learning ... Featuring:

What will you get when you order the Strategic Planning e-Training Package? You will have access to the strategic planning principals and techniques that companies around the globe use every day to increase sales and productivity and earn more profits. Part of what you will receive includes …

An overview of the strategic management process with some interesting observations as to why it is failing to deliver business performance and financial results as promised.

    • Learn the truth about strategic planning models and execution weaknesses that could be hurting your bottom line.

World-class graphics that clearly demonstrate strategic management process  "how to" and include expert commentary explaining the techniques. All presented in 203 reproducible PowerPoint® colored slides.

    • These slides expedite learning by combining the power of a seminar with the option to learn at your own pace.

A Case Study about how one company successfully implemented their strategic management process and turned a marginally successful product line into a huge winner.

    • No general theory here. You will review the real world effects of strategic planning and tactical execution and better understand how it can help your teams achieve greater bottom line contributions.

The Strategic Planning and Tactical Execution e-Tutorial contains powerful, real-world strategic management process experiences presented via 205 professional quality reproducible PowerPoint® colored training slides. These slides are made even more powerful with expert "been there, done that" strategic planning explanations and comments. It is by far the best strategic management process training aid you can give your business teams. The benefits to you and your teams can be enormous. For example, the tutorial will help them:

  • Create and implement a winning strategic plan

  • Transform the company vision into reality

  • Develop a motivational balanced scorecard that ties directly to profit margins and bottom line performance.

  • Employ "quick hitting" kaizen to implement tactical plans

  • Speed improvements in quality, on-time deliveries, customer satisfaction and profit margins.

  • Implement a company-employee "Win-Win" strategic planning learning process

  • Optimize strategic planning models

  • Move business paradigm from "firefighting" to proactive problem solving

  • Optimize results from lean manufacturing process

And, it's the "how to" that really makes a difference.

Most training materials today are Adobe PDF files... an e-book presentation with little or no useable training materials. Bill Gaw's e-tutorial on the other hand includes powerful, PowerPoint® graphics, "plus" annotated note pages with explanations, and "lessons learned" by a "been there, done that" professional. A  value added, e-learning experience on "how to" design, implement and deploy strategic planning initiatives for personal and company success.


One of our customers said it even better than we can:

"Bill Gaw's e-learning is focused on the "how to." Unlike other training materials that tell you only what you need to do... Bill's training presents what you need to do and then he shows you how to do it."

                                T.J. Imholts, VP Operations, Adstore Inc.
