Business Planning

Business Planning is a vital part of any organisation / business. Unfortunately, it is one area where many businesses fail to perform in developing specific written strategies / plans against which they can measure implementation and progress. Indeed, even when established these strategies need regular review and updating to take into account the internal and external environment.

BCS can help perform a strategic analysis of an organisation which will involve determining expectations, objectives, resources and the environment in which it expects or indeed already operates.

This analysis will lead to the generation and evaluation of potential options with an appropriate selection from which the final strategy can be established.

Assistance may then be provided to implementing the subsequent Business Plan that will be prepared covering:

• Change Management
• Training and Development
• Organisational Structural Planning
• Products and Services
• Market Place and Environment - Marketing Plan
• Processes and Organisation
• Financial Planning

The outcome is to formulate a clearly written business plan that may be used to implement strategies or when seeking finance from traditional sources such as Banks or for grant applications to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) or other grant providers.
