Thorneycreek helps you to Raise Your Game

Thorneycreek Consulting will be giving a series of presentations on planning as a business discipline as part of the Raise Your Game programme hosted by Antenna in Nottingham during September and October 2011.  The presentations are aimed at start-ups, as well as existing SMEs looking to expand their capabilities and prepare for the next stage in their organisation's development.

In the first session we’ll be asking "Why Plan?"  We'll look at the different aspects of an organisation's operation which warrant the creation of a plan, the sort of plans you should look to generate, and how often you should look to revise them.  We'll also be talking about what data you'll need to capture before you can tell whether your plans are working, and how to react to that data once it begins to arrive in your organisation.

In the next session, we’ll be looking at different ways of analysing the data you're collecting, and using the results of that analysis to improve your existing business processes and build competitive advantage.  We'll also be taking a look at how to plan for when things go wrong.

In the final session, we’ll be looking at planning for growth, and building on the success you’ve achieved from putting your plans into action.  We’ll also be allowing attendees to workshop any specific problem areas they may have identified within their own organisations as a result of the previous sessions.

Sessions will be held on 12 and 26 September and 10 October at Antenna, Beck Street, Nottingham NG1 1EQ.  Start time is 6.00 pm and the formal presentations will be finished by 7.00.  Admittance is free.
