Strategic Planning Season is Looming. Is Your Office Ready?

The calendar may still say August, but the warm days of summer are quickly coming to an end.  Do you know what that means?  The time honored tradition of strategic planning is so close you can practically smell the office coffee brewing.   Yes, hours of meetings are coming to fill your days for the next few months all in an effort to become a better and more productive company next year.  

Is your office products supply closet ready? 

Great River Office Products can help.  No, we cannot help you clone yourself so your look-a-like body double can have all the fun, but we can supply you with necessary office products to make the strategic planning process a little less painful.

Below is a check list of products you’ll want to have on hand during the 4^th quarter planning marathon.

• Writing utensils are must.  Legal pads, pens, pencils, colored pencils, markers and crayons are all helpful for both taking notes and also finding the inner creativity business planning meetings can require.
• White boards and dry erase markers.  White boards and dry erase markers go with the strategic planning meeting like, as Forrest Gump would say, peas and carrots.  You’ve got to have them and there are a few things to think about when purchasing a white board.  They’re not all equal.  
• Calendars are important for strategic planning to set accountability deadlines.  We have a wonderful dry erase calendar for meetings.  It’s big, easy to erase, and perfect for a strategic planning meeting. 
• Office snacks.  For your staff to perform at an optimal level, they’ll need to be hydrated, fed, and caffeinated!  Office coffee is a staple of every successful meeting and Keurig has options to fit everyone’s tastes.  In addition to coffee, Keurig by-the-cup brewing machines also make cider, teas, and iced coffee.  The system is a definite step up from traditional office coffee.  Who knows, better office coffee could create better ideas!

     Don’t get caught without supplies for the most important quarter of the year.  Order early and be ready to tackle your strategic planning season with ease.
