A new year can bring a long list of ideas. Choosing a few clear business goals gives you a better chance of following through than promising to change everything at once.

A business review is more useful when it leads to a decision. Set aside time to examine the work that helped, the activity that consumed effort and the customer experience you want to improve next.
