We are very pleased to be running again our highly successful Business Planning workshop on the 10th and 11th of September at Exeter University.

This workshop has given many South West business owners the knowledge, ability, confidence and inspiration to drive their business forward using their own bespoke business plan.

"I attended the Business strategy and planning workshop as a business owner constantly running out of time, spinning plates and with no real direction. I left as a business owner with a strategy on how to implement a properly defined path of direction, how to move forward, realising the risk and having the tools to grow our team and business." Dougie Rogers, Director, Active8ukltd

How difficult is it to implement all your plans for taking your business forward, you have lots of good ideas but how are you going to achieve them?

Are you looking for:

* Increased profit
* Organisational Growth
* More customers with a greater loyalty
* Better team performance
* A plan to take your business onwards and upwards into 2014 and beyond

Well we have the answer for you!

Take just two days out and spend essential time working on the business not in the business. It will be some of the most valuable time you have spent in a long while!

Day 1 – Understanding your business purpose and leading your business forward through aligning goals, people and systems for sustainable success

Learn the Sampson Hall seven step process to business success. You will take this process back into your business to increase:

* Performance
* Productivity
* Profitability

As a result you and your teams will work more coherently, efficiently and effectively having shared a common understanding of exactly what is required. Progress will be measurable through clearly defined goals. Communications will be enhanced, meetings more productive, employees more engaged and systems in place to drive you to inevitable success.

Day 2 – Create your businesses bespoke strategy and plan with expert help and guidance

The seven steps will be used to define your individual strategy and plan. Your bespoke work will align your strategy with your leadership and your culture to match the demands of your particular business environment. You will leave with clearly defined goals, tasks, a risk matrix, talent management and clear organizational priorities. All of which can be tracked and measured.

You will define and take away:

* Key benchmark indicators
* Leadership styles for you and your team
* Clearly defined goals and action plans
* Metrics to measure progress and improve accountability, allowing you to educate, motivate and facilitate
