Business Blueprint for success

CLG Course Description:

Are you thinking of starting a new business? Don’t know how? OR want to know how to accelerate the growth of your current business? Register for this CLG session! The course will follow the popular Business Model Canvas framework as a foundation for building a healthy and scalable business model. It comprises nine basic building blocks to help entrepreneurs and business owners think through how they plan to add value and be profitable. The Canvas is a helpful planning tool for startups and established businesses planning to grow in a new direction

CLG sessions are facilitated by world class facilitators, and are enriched with a diverse mix of participants, providing unmatched opportunities to connect, learn, and grow. Throughout the course, CLG facilitators will provide analysis of how the framework can be adopted for a post COVID-19 world.

Where is your business today? Let’s partner together to move it forward. We will cover the following materials through four online working sessions:

  • Week 1: Introduction to Business Canvas, Value Proposition and Customer Segments

  • Week 2: Revenue Streams and Cost Structure

  • Week 3: Channels, Partners, and Key Activities

  • Week 4: Raising Capital, Measurement and Systems for Success, Completing Business Canvas

  • Week 5: Pitch session and leader chat with Tom Lantzsch, Senior Vice President, Intel

The Business Model Canvas framework has been used by thousands of businesses in all industries to chart a successful path to growth. Each working session will combine instruction on the topics for the week, individual work time, and peer group collaboration.

Through this process, we will break through barriers that is holding your business back, and unlock new ideas to get you moving forward. The final deliverable will be a completed business model canvas with tailored strategies for your business objectives. At the end of each week, participants will leave with a “First things first” action item that they implement in the following week, and report back to the group. This provides a FOCUS on ACTION, supported by accountability among peers.

Prior to the course, we will do a short survey to understand more about your business, it’s current status, and your goals. We will use this to group participants with those that are in a similar stage or industry in order to maximize peer interactions.

Activities

We will start the CLG sessions with Icebreaker activities. These Icebreakers would have significance with the theme of the workshop. Examples include breaking participants into groups and having them find out what they all have in common.
