About Plan It!
This is a thorough course in business plan development for business loan applicants who need to write a business plan in order to secure a business loan.
Core learning materials include a range of case studies which show participants samples of good and bad business plan pages.
Participants combine their experience of the business simulation with their discussions and criticisms of these virtual business plans.
In this way they discover how each business planning concept affects a business, and what kind of thinking is required to write the content of their own business plans.
Master Plan recognizes that the business planning process is non-linear. It is designed to challenge participants to consider an issue today and to make and record preliminary decisions in light of current knowledge. But it is also designed to challenge participants at every step in the process to reconsider earlier decisions in light of newly discovered information, knowledge and ideas.
The BluePrints are effectively a comprehensive set of assignments which demand mindwork (thinking), legwork (research) and paperwork (recording of answers to questions and research findings).
This 74 page book of blueprints directs participants to do all the mind work and leg work required to complete a comprehensive business plan.
