Whether it's in business or life, both require a Game Plan for success.

Chapter 13 of the book is titled Establish a Game Plan and it becomes the foundation for building a successful diabetes management program. The materials can also be used to help develop a successful business or personal life.

Whether or not you have diabetes, this chapter includes an invaluable template to help you arrange key items for developing a game plan. If you want to improve your diabetes management, the template can help. If you own a business and want to dominate a particular market or industry--and have it continue to be successful, this chapter and the template can help. The key components of the template were developed by Richard Wintermantel, an industry expert in Strategy and Organizational Development (OD).

Since I was introduced to this method in 1997, I have used it for at least three businesses--one of which moved to dominate its respective market in the semiconductor industry and another business that I was recruited to reinvent as a division vice-president. The business was successfully reinvented and its main product became the number one value creator for the company. The product was so successful that it was copied by some of the biggest names in the semiconductor industry. I have also used it for my own diabetes program and a sample of its contents are shown in Chapter 13.
