Writing an Effective Business Plan

 BUSINESS CHALLENGE

Successful businesses have one characteristic – they have and utilise a written business plan. Remember the old saying – “Businesses don’t plan to fail, they fail to plan”.

If you are second-guessing the customer, underestimating your competition, ignoring your own strengths, mistaking a budget for a plan, being afraid to change or forgetting to motivate and reward your employees, you need to have a formal business plan.

The preparation and execution of a business plan will help you answer these key survival questions:

  • What is our present position in our market?
  • Where would we like to be?
  • What is the best way to get there?

 

The purpose of this course is to answer these kinds of questions for you.

 TARGET AUDIENCE

The course is valuable for anyone who is managing a business segment or owner/manager of a small/medium organisation.
