## Details

## Overview

The 12 Week Year by Brian P. Moran redefines the annual planning cycle into 12-week periods, creating greater urgency and focus to accomplish more in 12 weeks than others do in 12 months.

## Core Concept

Rather than annual goals that get delayed until "later," the 12 Week Year creates 12-week execution cycles where every week matters.
