Business Plans: how to produce a workable and convincing business plan - a half day course

Dates: 4 June 2008, 13.45 - 17.00

A well-conceived business plan is a powerful aid to achieving better results, not only in the commercial world, but in any other field of activity. Unfortunately many plans are marred by a lack of realism, the failure to build in contingency measures to cope with different future situations and the absence or inadequacy of vital elements. This course will explain the soundly established principles for devising a plan that works whether it is one page in length or far more complex. Another common cause of failure is poor construction and presentation of otherwise viable plans and so the course also shows how to produce ones that will compel attention and acceptance.
