Ever since David and Goliath, the "small" have been very empowered. Now small businesses have more reason to celebrate with the arrival of Activeplans Strategic Business Planning Netware. Activeplans gives you the ability to create a business or strategic plan like never before. Activeplans Netware runs right off of the internet so there's no software to download or install. We take care of the technology so you can take care of managing your business. It's the way it should be. With its unique point-and-click planning interface, you can instantly organize abstract thoughts into complete sentences using our natural language text engine. There's no better way to organize your thinking into a viable plan for your business--never before has being small been so easy.

Here's how it works: You sign up for your own safe and secure account. Then using your web browser, along with your account name and password, you access Activeplans from anywhere at anytime. All of your work on your plan is saved from session to session and when you're done, you can export your work into your favorite word processor and spreadsheet program for deeper refinement. There are two different types of plans that Activeplans can construct: a business plan and a strategic plan. The business plan is perfect for start-up ventures or for businesses that need a formal written planning document to communicate with members of a management team, employees, customers, or financial backers. With the business plan, there are no examples provided. But don't fret. You don't want to spend time looking at other people's plans, you want to create own unique plan. That's why we have provided a collection of responses prepared by business professionals so you can create a unique and individual plan without recreating the wheel. Simply point and click on your responses to create a chunk of plan text.  Our natural language text engine organizes your thoughts into complete sentences.  To complete a step simply modify as needed, and then move on.  There's no better way to organize your thinking. The strategic plan is based upon a proprietary planning process that helps you to express your vision as strategic story. It is ideal for existing or growing business that are seeking to conduct a strategic planning session. The strategic plan demonstrates that the best visions, and strategies for that matter, are stories-stories told in a future tense. Creating a story is a creative act, not a systematic or mechanical technique. It's a process perfectly tailored to creating strategy since strategy making itself is a creative act. Activeplans blends the communicative and imaginative strengths of stories with the advantages of abstract and analytical thinking. Based upon years of research into successful entrepreneurial strategy formation, the process is ideally suited to communicating change and stimulating innovation.
