Kickstart^TM

Who should attend:

1. Anyone who has ever thought about starting their own business.
2. Owners of business that have been operating for less than twelve months.

Does the idea of having your own business appeal to you... but the worry of running it successfully prevent you from starting that business?

• Have you started your business in the last 12 months and now realise what a learning curve it really is?
• Do you want to turn your ideas into a commercial reality?
• Do you want to learn as much as you can about business in the shortest possible time?

Then Kickstart^TM is the business development program for you.

Starting new businesses is challenging, especially in today’s competitive “pressure cooker” environment - simply having a “good idea for a business” is not enough. Developing your business ideas into commercially viable businesses is a skill that needs to be learned. While you may have already started your business, are you fully prepared for the continually changing challenges of the future?

Kickstart^TM prepares you for those challenges and teaches you the skills you need to actively turn your business ideas into rapidly growing and commercially viable businesses.

Specifically designed for entrepreneurs and business owners whose businesses are in startup phase or in the first year of operation, Kickstart^TM provides the essential strategies and tactics for taking your business to the next level.

After completing this workshop you will be able to:

• identify and develop commercially viable business ideas,
• evaluate the marketplace and clearly identify lucrative and rewarding business opportunities,
• attract the resources you need to pursue these opportunities, at minimal cost to yourself,
• develop strategies and organise your business to effectively compete in your market place,
• identify risks to your business, and develop tactics to neutralise risks.

These strategies and tactics are designed to achieve one objective – and one objective only: to equip you to take your business to the next level.

Your Business By Design^TM

Who should attend: Any business owner or manager who expects more from their business

• Do you run your business, or does your business run you?
• Do you want your business to dramatically improve its performance, but are uncertain how and where to make corrections?

Then Your Business By Design^TM is the business development program for you.

Every business has its own ‘personality’ – an invisible set of operating behaviours that are derived from the values and actions of the people that drive it – business owners, managers and staff. Over time, these invisible behaviours become the norm for doing business – they become “how we do things around here”.

Unchallenged, “how we do things around here” becomes a barrier to taking your business to the next level. Often we get so caught up in the daily demands of our business we lose sight of where we were originally heading... and if we are getting any closer. Is your business is performing to your expectations? Is your business producing the results that you want it to produce?

Your Business By Design^TM gives you the opportunity to challenge ‘how things are done around your business’. Specifically designed for owners and senior managers who expect more from their business, this program provides frameworks to examine into how your business is truly performing, and where to make strategic changes to re-align business performance with your expectations.

After completing Your Business By Design^TM you will be able to:

• Clearly understand where your business is, and is not performing
• Prioritise the critical business areas that need management attention to ensure the success of your business
• Uncover hidden aspects of you and your management’s team performance,
• Understand where different perspectives may be contributing to poor performance,

How much more effective would you be if you could clearly identify, with pinpoint accuracy and confidence, exactly where you need to improve your business performance?

Your Business By Design^TM gives you the insight needed to take your business to the next level.
