The programme will be delivered to groups of around 15 people and gives participants the opportunity to expand their networks, to explore new business models, and to benchmark against other companies – all of which will help to improve business practice.
Managers who have participated in ‘Planning to Succeed’ groups in other food sectors have reported increased productivity, profitability and net worth as a major benefit of their participation, along with greater leadership skills, and the confidence and motivation to explore new market opportunities.
‘Planning to Succeed’ is delivered through a series of workshops over a 2 year programme. Participants must be committed and able to attend regularly, in order to benefit fully from its plan. The format is flexible and driven by those participating, and will focus on leadership and business management, supply chain issues, new opportunities, personnel development, effective marketing and more. In particular it will enable participants to discuss and work through current industry challenges, with a view to finding practical solutions.
