There are only 30 hours in a day and eight days in a week, right? As your business grows, there won’t feel like there is anywhere near enough time. Crucial to success is access to expertise, communication tools, data, and technology. But with so much out there, how do you know what you need and how to get it?

This interactive workshop will:

• Use the Business Model Canvas to help you decide where to focus your time and investment
• Explore tools to help you understand your user experience and gain insights
• Look at key activities and how technology can support you to achieve them in a more connected and efficient way
• Help you clarify what you need to invest in and what return on investment to expect when committing money
• You’ll be hearing from a case study.

You’ll come away with:

• Tips on making decisions about what technology to invest in
• Ways to access business support, data and expertise for free
• How to decide whether tools will save time and money
• Clarity on what to do to start moving parts of the business that feel ‘stuck’.

This workshop is for:

• Early-stage business leaders, entrepreneurs and sole traders who need additional capacity in order to grow
• Growing businesses needing to invest in time or money saving technology solutions

There are four workshops, this is the fourth. Whilst the workshops are standalone, each will look at a different quadrant of the Business Model Canvas, supporting you to fill it out as you go.

This workshop will be led by: Meg Fenn
