Do you find yourself waking up in the morning thinking, I have too much to do, I don’t know where to start?
• What can I do today that is going to be really productive?
• Am I actually making a difference?
• Is what I am doing helping the business to become sustainable?
• Where am I going to find the time to grow the business?
All social entrepreneurs dream of making their business grow so that they can truly fulfill their mission. When you ask the entrepreneurs how they plan to meet that goal, they usually talk about making their marketing better or perhaps doing more of it. In fact, there are many ways to go about growing a business, but first you need to plan.
How often do you sit down with your Management Team and your Board to review your Business Strategy for the next 2 to 5 years and plan for growth?
The first part of your social enterprise yearly business planning process is defining your business Objectives, Goals, Strategies and Measures.
Objectives: define where you want the business to go within the next financial year. They are key statements which outline the direction of the organisation. Planning Big.
Goals: define each objective in numerical terms, i.e. your financial targets within the next financial year. Targeted planning
Strategies: define “HOW” you will achieve each goal to be executed within the next financial year. Planning down to a T (Tasks).
Measures: define the performance indicators you will put in place for each Strategy to assess your performance against target (goals), in line with your (objectives). S.M.A.R.T Planning.
At Singulier, we have developed The Social Enterprise Growth Challenge Programme to help you do just that.
The programme is made up of 3 full day sessions per year, one every Quarter.
It is dedicated to supporting social entrepreneurs plan a realistic business strategy which will support the growth of their business.
During each session,
You will assess where you are at in terms of meeting your Business Objectives.
You will summarise results against planned targets
You will identify the gaps and the barriers that are impeding growth
You will plan for adjustments and learn to delegate
You will devise a new Action Plan for the next Quarter.
and much more….
