Course Overview:
Planning is an essential skill for virtually everyone in the modern business environment. Preparing a plan can be a daunting task: where does one start? Update the previous plan - if available - or start with a blank sheet of paper? This participative programme deals with all aspects of preparing a plan in a lively and informative way, balancing the theory with practical examples.
The course will provide each delegate with a clear understanding of the key elements that contribute to an effective plan. Delegates attending will gain confidence, professional expertise and the ability to produce appropriate and useful plans.
