WORKSHOP
DO YOU THINK YOU NEED A BUSINESS PLAN?
WHEN: Wednesday, July 24, 10 a.m.
WHERE: Virtual
WHAT: A business plan is your road map to success. It establishes the destination and the route you must follow to get there. Whether you wish to sell a product or a service online or in person, your purpose should be to clarify how you can provide value to your customers. This workshop will teach you how to use a simple instrument to focus on two key aspects of your business as well as other important components that will serve as the foundation for your business plan. The Business Model Canvas, a one-page, simple yet effective vehicle that has been taught at over 200 business schools across the country, enables a business owner to envision, test and confirm the critical elements of his or her business idea. It can also be the basis for a full-scale business plan if your business needs funding.
