Operations: this program is about the importance of breaking down every part of your business and developing a “How to” guide to help you work on the business, rather than in it!  A business needs good systems and processes to succeed and we look at breaking the business down into more manageable pieces and how vital it is to achieve “CANI” constant and never ending improvement in every area of your venture. You will learn about what goes into an operational plan.

The core components of your businesses operations.

And what are key result areas you need to work on to have your business run smoothly, as opposed to your business running you! Not only that we will review a case study about how to design your business so it works well and is sustainable.
