Business Sustainability
Description
The internal environment has ever been so uncertain for small to medium Business Owners.
Examples include :
- Economy wide shock events such as COVID-19. GFC, etc.,
- Increased regulation and government activities across multiple sectors
- Increasingly demanding customers in terms of value, ways they wan to interact with you (eg; digital) and access to alternative providers (eg; global corporations such as Amazon)
- The growing impact of climate change on the economy
- National events such as Christchurch earthquakes, etc.,
These factors make it very difficult for SMEs to be confident in the sustainability of their businesses and business models.
This module aims to provide a series of frameworks and approaches to developing a sustainability plan for your business.
The module is template driven and will consist of two sets of activities, pre and post in-person session.
Business Sustainability Session Format
The session will be conducted along the following 8 Steps:
Pre-Activities (2-3 hours)
- We will ask you to complete a comprehensive questionnaire on your business and use this to drive a one-on-one interview with you to drive deeper into topics identified. This content will also be used to develop a ‘starter pack’ with pre-populated data for your business for the interactive in-person session
Business Sustainability Session (4 hours)
- The session will be a multi-sector interactive session
- As stated, the workshop will be template driven so that you can fill it in as you progress your thoughts on the day. As it’s done, you will have a comprehensive sustainability plan for your business.
Post-Activities (2-3 hours)
- Finalisation of Business & Strategy plan
Key Outcomes
