Boost Workshop: Business Model Canvas

Do you need a simple and effective growth plan?

A route map that shows the way to business growth? Sets out the plan clearly and all on one page, and even helps you get there? Helps communicate your targets and ambitions with everyone in your business? And would you like to create it in just three hours?

Then register your interest for this workshop hosted by Boost Lancashire and facilitated by John Warren, Director of Matchbox Associates and an experienced business adviser who’s helped many North West companies achieve accelerated growth over the last decade.

We’ll take you through the Business Model Canvas – an easy to use business tool that’s recognised globally and has been proven to deliver excellent results. You’ll learn how to use it to better understand your own business and focus on the critical drivers for growth, and take away some key action points that you can work on immediately.

Our workshop covers:

• The Business Model Canvas. A plan on a page – everything you need clearly set out and in one place 
• How to make the numbers work - focusing on cost and revenue 
• Recognising customer needs and how to target them
• Identifying and managing risk
• Mapping the key relationships that will make your business successful 
• Creating a compelling value proposition – how to stand out from your competition 
• Cutting out waste through concentrating on those activities that add value 
• Communicating the plan and engaging your team 
• Q&A – dealing with specific challenges participants want to discuss.
