This course is made for people that want to quickly and economically draft a plan to structure their idea and create alignment inside their team.
It’s ideal for people that wants to get a direction for their business but don’t want (or don’t need) to spend months in developing a complete plan such as:
- Freelancers,
- Existing entrepreneurs looking for growth,
- Tech starters with few capital requirements
- …
The main benefits are:
- Structure your ideas
- Get a clear direction
- Create alignment inside your team
We use a visual method with brainstorming templates and post it.
The course is structured in 5 building blocks:
- The Entrepreneur: Understanding the characteristic an entrepreneur should have in order to be successful.
- The Analysis: In this section we will carry out a simple external analysis looking at Environment, Industry, Market, Customer
- The Opportunity: After the Analysis we will identify our opportunity
- The Plan: In the planning section we will clearly show the different elements that constitute the plan.
- The Risks: Finally we will identify risks and develop risk mitigation strategies
At the end of this course, you will have a clearer idea of what you want to do with your business. You will also be able to draft a simple DECK presentation to discuss your plan.
