About the PBPLS Program
A business plan is useful only when it guides decisions through the year. The program takes managers through building a working plan: reading the market, setting realistic objectives, costing the plan, building financial projections and agreeing the reviews that keep it current. Delivered in-house at the client's premises or live virtual for the team, participants build a plan for their own unit and leave with a document their leadership can act on.
