On this week’s episode of ScaleUp Radio, we have another presentation.
If you’re a regular listener to ScaleUp Radio you’ll know that every month we look at another aspect of scaling up your business and there’ll be links to a couple of the previous presentations in the show notes.
This time around we’re talking about planning. There’s a great quote “Plans are essentially worthless, but planning is everything” that is perfect for business planning, because it’s not the plan that is the important thing here - but the process of planning and thinking about your business.
So, in this episode there’s a lot of valuable content. Amongst it, we’ll cover:
The benefit of planning; and that’s outside the obvious aspect of ‘knowing what the next step is for your business’
The process of beginning to shape the plan, and bringing the team along with you
As well as the presentation, there is also a panel discussion with a group of business owners where we dive a little deeper into the subject of strategy and planning for your business, and how it fits into your scale up journey. There’ll be a full list of the business owners in the show notes.
Just a quick note, too, about the fact that you’ll hear me talking about tools and illustrations which we use at Biz Smart to illustrate some of the points that I was making. If you’d like a copy of those, you can get in touch by emailing admin@biz-smart.co.uk
