1 Day MBA - A practical workshop for Small Business Owners & Managers

You may not have time (or money) to do a real MBA*. What we have done is to take some of the key elements of an MBA and put them into a one-day program specifically designed for small business owners and general managers.

The topics covered in the One Day MBA include:

• Develop a strategy that works using models like PESTEL
• How to increase your sales through mapping and improving your sales cycle
• Delighting your customers (and measuring that) using simple techniques
• Receive a higher return on your marketing spend by understanding more about how Google, Meta etc., work for small businesses
• Learn the finance and taxation information that many small businesses don’t know and have a question(s) answered on the spot from a chartered accountant
• Getting the most out of yourself and your team (very important even if you do not employ people)

The 1 Day MBA is all about taking action. The content we provide you is designed to be implemented straight away. There will be time built into the day to allow you to begin working on your plans for growth, both by yourself, and with other business owners in small groups.

At the end of the One Day MBA, you will walk away with:

• Great education in the key aspects of running a small business from experienced subject matter experts
• A handbook that includes plan templates (e.g. a 1 page nusiness plan) with clear. actionable steps to improve your business
• An individual 60 minute follow up session (included in your ticket price) to specifically discuss your business

Who should attend?

A business owner with an established business (or a start-up who is really committed) who recognises there is much more to learn. You are passionate about what you have to offer and would benefit from getting practical information to help you grow. You may be a sole operator or have 50 staff, the key is that you want to learn, grow, and enjoy doing it!
