Regardless of where you are at right now, whether you are coping with a surge in demand or the opposite, then trying to make sense of the number of opportunities available to you, or questioning the long-term viability of your current model, the Business Growth Roadmap Seminar will benefit you as a business owner by plotting an easy-to-understand roadmap.
You may currently find yourself at a strategic crossroads, so understanding your direction and where your business is heading in the next 12 months is critical. We will be focusing on gaining clarity around your personal aspirations, the underpinning values and beliefs that drive your business/brand identity and how this translates into building value in your business.
As with any journey, it makes sense to plan the most efficient route to take. The seminar will guide you through starting to understand how to future proof your business, unlocking the market opportunities that give you the returns you need to sustain and grow, before simplifying these into a clear strategic focus.
Planning is the easy bit: the key is to engage your team (internally and externally) so they share your values and vision for the future. Your team must be capable of making things happen without you being the only one in the driving seat.
What will I learn and take away from the session?
In simple terms, no confusing language or jargon, how to produce a business strategy and an action plan that is tailored for your business.
A personalised benchmark and valuation of your business as it is now through the Value Builder Questionnaire
