Business is inherently risky and challenging. Successful organisations plan for and respond to likely and unlikely situations. Using the internationally acclaimed Pillars of Business Success (POBS) model as a framework, this practical course considers key personal and business factors to focus on to optimise the chance of success for early-stage companies.
Run by Axiom-e's founder Ken Dickson, aka 'The Financial Doctor', the course will introduce a number of techniques and ideas that you can implement in your own businesses. Sessions will refer to several areas of business, explain their relevance and show how they are inter-related, but will not cover them in any detailed way.
The major purpose of this course is to help you think about:
-
why you want to run a business
-
which skills you have or need to develop
-
how you will establish and grow your business
-
what success looks like to you
-
who will benefit from your work
Whether you are just thinking of starting a business or have already begun the journey, the course will be of interest.
Taking time in the lovely surroundings of Madingley Hall and gardens to reflect on some key business and personal issues that impact on your venture will better enable you to run your organisation.
