Thinking about launching a business? You don't always need a massive formal business plan right away. However, a clear roadmap is invaluable for figuring out the "how" and "whether" of bringing your product or service to life. And if you envision seeking investment or partnerships, a well-structured plan becomes crucial.
In this workshop, we'll equip you with a practical and efficient approach to planning.
First, we'll use a Business Opportunity Matrix to assess the viability of your product or service. From there, we'll dive into crafting a lean business plan – a streamlined strategy built on real-world feedback.
You'll learn how to design a plan based on these core principles:
- Determine Your Vision: Clearly define your business identity and the unique value proposition you offer your customers.
- Know Your Customer: Identify your ideal target market – who they are, where they are, and the potential size of this audience.
- Chart Your Course: Develop a practical action plan outlining your initial steps and how you'll track your progress.
Who is this workshop for?
- Aspiring entrepreneurs ready to evaluate and plan their business ideas.
- Early-stage startups seeking a focused and efficient planning methodology.
- Anyone looking for a practical alternative to time-consuming, traditional business plans.
Stop wondering and start planning with clarity and purpose. Join us and learn how to take the initial steps to set you up for business success!
