Entrepreneurial Skills Training: Intensive Business Modelling - Defining Your Value Proposition

Organiser

Enterprise Europe Network

Entrepreneurial Skills Training

This is a series of fully-funded workshops to help you innovate and grow your business to its potential.  The workshops will show you the tools and techniques that entrepreneurs use to develop effective high growth business models and help you apply them to your own business.  Research shows that enhancing your 'core business competencies' can accelerate your growth.  If you're a business with ambition and capacity for high growth, these workshops have been specifically designed to help you.

Intensive Business Modelling

Our series of three Intensive Business Modelling workshops are focused on giving you the tools and skills you need to design, develop and refine a new or existing business model that will help your business achieve its growth potential.

The workshops will be practical and interactive and led by experienced Innovation Advisers from the Enterprise Europe Network.  Companies will concentrate solely on the growth of their business and on completion of the training will come away with:

  • A clearly defined value proposition, helping them to find more customers easily
  • A robust business model
  • A tool that can be reapplied to all future product development and innovation

Day 1 - Defining Your Value Proposition: 25 February 2016

This workshop will help participants' articulate, test and evaluate their value proposition and wider business model using the business model canvas and related tools.

Day 2 - Developing Your Business Model: 03 March 2016

This workshop allows further development of the business model to include competition, customer segments and relationships, routes to market and sales channels, operational; resources and partnerships.

Day 3 - Testing and Refining Your Business Model: 08 March 2016

This workshop illustrates how to test, evaluate and refine the business model through financial modelling (pricing, costing and revenue streams).

The Intensive Business Modelling Workshops (conducted over three separate dates) have a focus on business modelling, defining the value proposition and providing an opportunity to conduct a detailed analysis of the current model and how it could be developed and improved.  These are a foundation to be completed together, you must be able to attend all three.

Who should attend?

These workshops are suitable for senior leadership teams including Chief Executives, technology, sales, marketing, strategy and finance leads in all business sectors.  The programme is aimed at:

  • Businesses with potential, ambition and capacity for high growth
  • New business owners who would like help to build their first business model and who would like to ensure their planned business model is robust
  • Business owners who would like to launch a new innovation within an existing business

Client testimonials

Without the Growth Hubs help and assistance, we would never have been able to increase our sales & output and also grow our local business. With this help in purchasing new equipment we have expanded our operations and gained a new and increased customer base.

Nuneaton Roof Truss,

Over the past few years, Armstrongs has built up a fantastic relationship with Gary Thyeson from the Growth Hub. His advice on grants and funding has been really valuable to both Armstrongs and some of our clients. His knowledge of local business support has been helpful in signposting us to relevant support agencies as required. We look forward to working with Laura Delahunty moving forwards.

MES Systems Limited,

I have had an excellent experience working with Laura from the Growth Hub, from day one, she was taking detailed attention to my concerns and ideas.

I feel this support definitely had a positive impact in my plans.

It’s been a fantastic inaugural eight months for the TalentTech Recruitment team and, although the reality of setting up and running a company can be a somewhat daunting experience, we have been extremely grateful for the superb help, advice and guidance given to us along our journey by Gavin Barnett and the team at CW Growth Hub.

Burbidge & Son Ltd,

Over the years since the Growth Hub was set up we have habitually gone to our Account Manager as a one-stop shop for all business-related information.  It has been a really convenient way of finding suppliers, advisors and, on one occasion, we even asked for assistance with finding customers.  We are invited to a wide range of business events including business development workshops, Brexit roundtable discussions, seminars on various topics and have also been asked to speak at some events.  When we have needed additional information, for example, finding finance sources or help with selecti
