Develop a Business Plan with Purpose and Durability
2-part session

A quick look around will show you that there are 1,001 ways to write a business plan, but how do we write the right plan? And how do we write a business plan that won’t just gather dust on the shelf? Whether you’re writing a plan for investors, banks, or your internal team, this course will help get you on the right track. This 2-session business-planning workshop will prepare you to create a written plan ranging from a planned startup or existing business enterprise, and give you a reason to re-engage with your plan as conditions and seasons change.

In this comprehensive 2-session course, we will focus on:

Session 1
Value Proposition, Mission, Vision, Values, Purpose Exercises
Business Model Canvas – Business Plan on a Page
Know Thyself and Know Thy Needs – Personality Exercises, SWOT Analysis, Capital Needs Discussion

Session 2
Financing Plan & Projections – Market Research & Assumptions
