Partner Workshop – This workshop re-visits a business's vision and purpose; and involves discussion and planning to potentially re-shape the business vision (the longer term view – your desired future) and purpose (why do we exist)

Content: Focus on three year ‘direction’ by asking:
o What are we aiming for?

o What might be your key 3-year objectives (revenue/financial position, service/product offerings, customer-base, staff numbers and team structure, brand, acquisitions/organic growth etc)

o How will we do it? – What are those big ticket, strategic priorities that will get us there?

o What role will each of you play in that? What would be expected of you?

o The output would be a high level ‘plan on a page’

o Review how you are doing now. How are we performing? Use actual measures – this gives us a sense of where we are now

o Once we have done the ‘3-year view’ and considered where you are now, we look at producing an operational plan. How will we break down what we need to do (over three years) into manageable chunks for the next financial year


Outcomes:
o Understanding the role of a clear vision and purpose
o Being able to translate vision and purpose into leadership actions
o Being able to communicate the vision and purpose with clarity
o Creating a shared team vision and sense of purpose
o Begin the development of an Operational Plan


Time Frame: 3-4 hours

Cost: $1,825 less

Often, knowing what needs to be done is not enough for business owners. You may require dedicated one on one training, to ensure you progress and that the programme of study is relevant to your business.

Being immersed in day to day operations can prevent clear business planning from taking place. This training requires commitment through completion of ‘homework’ to ensure that business planning, development and implementation is strategic and focused on achieving business results.

This training focuses on the key areas for consideration when undertaking strategic business planning. It enables you to develop a ‘living’ business plan which will highlight the milestones that you need to reach in order to achieve your business vision in the short, medium and long term.

With clear action plans you should feel confident that you are taking considered, progressive steps to grow your business.

Objectives of the Training:
• Determine what business planning is and
why it is needed
• Understand what strategising is and how
this relates to your business
• Vision, values, mission – creating and
committing to these
• Leadership and your role as business owner
+ Incorporating an assessment of leadership
capability
• Role of other stakeholders in the business
• Development and monitoring of a ‘living’
business plan encompassing the key
business functions:
+ Operations
+ Finance
+ Human Resources
+ Sales and Marketing
+ Innovation/Research and Development
+ Technology

This training will be undertaken over 16-20 hours and will include workshops, coaching and the actual development of the business plan.
We will also look at your role as business owner and ask you to undertake a psychometric personality assessment to gain greater insight into your leadership style as well as your thinking, coping and interpersonal preferences.

The fee for this training is:
- Working one on one= $12,250 + GST less
