We Are Wakefield members may remember this idea being introduced in a recent survey – and if you shared your thoughts, thank you. Your feedback is helping to shape the programme, with future workshop topics centred around the challenges, opportunities and areas of business you told us you’d most value support with.
For our first session, we’ll introduce what the Business Growth Workshops are all about before getting straight into a practical business strategy session exploring proven ways to grow your business.
We’ll look at the different areas you can focus on to drive growth, helping you step back from the day-to-day, look at your business from a fresh perspective and identify where your biggest opportunities could lie.
Expect an interactive, practical session with ideas you can take away and start putting into action – as well as the chance to help shape the workshops still to come.
