Morning: Leadership
This session is about putting a practical spin on management/leadership i.e. how to put theory into practice.
The theory is great until you inject the great unknown - people - into the equation and sometimes real life just doesn’t work out like the books suggest it should.
Afternoon: Strategic Planning
It’s an old axiom that if you fail to plan then you plan to fail. Without setting clear objectives, how will you ever recognise progress, success or failure? This module looks at the relationship between your vision for the business – yes, even SMEs should have a business vision! - your business plan objectives, your strategy and your operational plans.
