Pulling it together – the Five Whys

The Entrepreneurial Skills training course begins by examining entrepreneurship, the entrepreneurial mindset and the characteristics associated with entrepreneurs, including the distinction between entrepreneurship and small-business management. It then considers how business ideas emerge through creativity and innovation, before moving into opportunity recognition and the initial assessment of ideas. The agenda develops this foundation through consideration of market needs, the business environment and the practical factors involved in determining whether a proposed venture represents a viable opportunity.

The course then progresses from opportunity assessment to the development of a coherent business model and business plan, covering the principal marketing, operational, organisational and financial considerations involved. It addresses the resources and funding required for a venture, alongside the available sources of finance and the issues involved in presenting a proposal to potential funders. The concluding topics consider the establishment, management and growth of an entrepreneurial venture, bringing together the planning and decision-making elements covered throughout the agenda.
