business foundation
During 2005, business foundation filled the business development training gap that was identified as a much needed area for support.
It was aimed at individuals who had been operating successfully as a freelancer or small company, but needed to build an understanding of how to develop a viable business.
Participants attended a minimum of 4 day long workshops and took part in one-to one sessions to discuss the following issues and impact within their own individual business.
- Self development and self organisation
- Understanding what’s out there – trends/markets/competitors/stakeholders
- Presentation and communication – persuasion and negotiation
- Goal setting, planning, understanding cash flow and costs, business planning
