An intensive 3-day program, Business Models and Business Plans equips faculty to guide entrepreneurs and students in nailing down the key elements of a business concept. Using case studies, videos and research materials, participants will learn to assess business opportunities, examine financing options, design business models, and, finally, write structured business plans. By the end of the program, faculty will have a solid understanding of the key differences between business plans and models – and what goes into building each.
Upon graduation, faculty participants will be able to work with both students and entrepreneurs in building persuasive business plans and business models that clearly analyze business opportunities from an initial idea to a viable venture. Graduates will be able to build professional plans, determine mission and objectives, analyze competition, outline target markets, create sales and marketing plans, and generate financial statements. Key topics covered in the course include:
- Introduction to Business Models
- Understanding the different types of Business Models
- Designing Business Models
- Overview of finance and mapping financing decisions to business models
- Structure and elements of a Business Plan
- Writing a Business Plan
