Planning for a Viable and Successful Business

This course is designed for busy entrepreneurs who want to improve their skills, knowledge and understanding of planning, both operational and strategic. By following the steps recommended, you’ll find it easier to follow through with implementing your plans and the more you do this, the more confident you’ll become in doing so.

The course includes a series of video tutorials, covering five distinctive topics:

1. Action Planning

2. Business Environment 1 – SWOT Analysis

3. Operational Planning

4. Identifying Seed Funding

5. Business Planning.

Together, these five modules will help you think of the main factors you’ll need to consider to achieve business development goals. They will help you make a detailed assessment of your strengths and available resources, identify your weaknesses and the issues threatening your business, and they will also help you recognise the opportunities presented to you as a business owner.

Even though they cover complex and comprehensive topics, our video tutorials offer contents that are easy to follow and understand (both in terms of language and visuals), and are designed to accommodate a variety of learning styles.

Throughout your tutorial, you’ll have the option to pause and rewind the videos at any time, as well as slowing down the delivery speed.

Each module offers clear learning objectives, short lectures explaining the theoretical framework, useful examples and practical case studies.

Whether your business is at the conceptual or piloting stage, or whether you’re fully operational or considering an expansion phase, this course will help you gain the confidence, knowledge and understanding to improve your planning skills, and give you all the tools you’ll need for planning.

The course will help you develop both strategic and operational planning and management skills for creating a viable and sustainable business, which are also key prerequisites for a successful business.
