What’s included

Boosting Profitability
9am to 12pm, Wednesday 20 May

With business inefficiencies accounting for up to 30 per cent of a business’s operating costs, it is vital for business owners to identify these inefficiencies.

Using a seven step process, you will learn how to systematically identify opportunities to reduce costs, waste and time inefficiencies in your business, improving your bottom line and leading to increased profitability.

Marketing your Business
5pm to 8pm, Thursday 28 May

Marketing involves thinking of your business in terms of customer needs and satisfaction. While selling focuses on getting people to exchange their money for your products or services, marketing is the value you give them.

Businesses only thrive by understanding their customers and using marketing strategies to meet their needs. Today’s consumers are overwhelmed by promotional ‘noise’ (in both on and offline environments), so it’s essential that your message is the one that ‘cuts through’.

Creating a Risk Management Plan
9am to 12pm, Wednesday 10 June 

Risk is an inherent when running a business. Knowing how to identify and mitigate these risks is critical to protecting the business. Developing a robust risk management plan will help you prepare for any scenario such as interest rate rises, economic outlooks and the impact from global events.

This workshop will guide you through the process of preparing a risk management plan from assessing the business situation to working through scenarios and identifying potential measures you can put in place.
