Create Berwick Professional Development Workshops for Creative Practitioners
It’s Not Rocket Science: Business Planning for Creatives
The Maltings 1.30pm-3.00pm, 28th June
If a friend came to you with a bright idea for a business and asked you to invest your time, money and energy into it, what questions would you ask before getting involved? In this workshop, we will identify the various elements of the enterprise planning process that will clarify our ideas and prove invaluable in taking them forward.
We’ll take a look at the content and structure of a range of model business plans and explore how creative entrepreneurs use the process to make the most of their talents, exploit opportunities and achieve both creative and commercial success.
By the end of this workshop, you will have created a draft business plan and you will have insight into:
The value you create
Your market opportunities
The actions you will need to take to get your ideas of the ground
Who you will need to work
The potential levels of return on investment from a creative and commercial perspective
