Business Strategy and International Growth

Learn practical analysis and planning tools to strengthen your strategic thinking and identify new market opportunities.

Small businesses owners face many difficult challenges these days, but one of the greatest ones is finding time to plan out the future development of the business.

But if you can find the time, where do you begin? It can be difficult to look objectively at how the business might develop when you are very much in it.

At RTC North we work with hundreds of small businesses every year, helping owners gain perspective on their situation and strategically plan for their business growth.

This workshop will introduce you to some of the analysis and planning tools we use to create effective strategic plans and exploit market opportunities more effectively.

Considering international markets could unlock new growth opportunities. We will help you assess overseas potential and outline your first steps towards international trade.

Using theoretical case studies, we will work through how to apply the tools and gain the insight needed to inspire future business development and expansion.

Finally, we will focus on your own business challenges with the opportunity for additional support follow ups after the workshop.

This workshop is designed for:

• Businesses more than one year old that have started to gain traction

• Business owners looking for clarity on next steps

• Those whose growth has plateaued and want new ideas or approaches

  
  

What is included:

• external environmental and competition analysis
