Course Overview
For any organisation to succeed, regardless of their size, it is important that the leaders have a clear idea of their company vision and overall mission, as well as developed a strategy to enable them to get there. Typically, this involves creating a comprehensive business plan.
It is important that the leaders can communicate the business plan effectively in a way that is transparent and not open to misunderstanding. The theory of planning and objective-setting cascades down in larger organisations with each department or local area responsible for setting its own short and longer-term plans which have to fit in to the larger organisational strategy.
This Business Planning course has been developed to enable anyone in a strategic role understand the importance of effective planning and to teach them some strategic tools that will support their ability to develop robust business plans, and be able to communicate them effectively either in-person or virtually.
Please note, this course can be delivered as virtual instructor led training (VILT), face to face, or it can be delivered with a blend of both formats. We will customise the content and duration in line with your learning and development requirements.
