Course details
This course has been developed to support the Council’s aspirations to be a more commercial, revenue generating Council. This course builds on the more theoretical Commercial business planning eLearn course that participants will have been expected to have completed prior to this course.
It focuses on the sections of an effective commercial business plan and how to go about writing one and who to involve. This course will allow interaction with other colleagues who are in the process of drafting commercial business plans or reviewing theirs.
What will I learn?
On this course you will learn:
- The council's approach to commercial business planning and the purpose of commercial business planning in the wider context.
- Which sections make up a commercial business plan and how they are connected.
- How to develop an effective commercial business plan and the importance of engaging key stakeholders in the process.
The course will use a case study of a Council commercial business plan to structure the learning around the recommended nine sections of a commercial business plan.
How will I be taught?
The course is interactive and will include a range of discussion opportunities as a whole group and in smaller break out groups. There are a range of exercises to build learning and confidence and prompt discussion as well as feedback. There will be a mix of business planning theory and practical applied learning based on participants own knowledge.
What do I need to join the course?
