Want to Learn How to Make the Best Use of your Time, Tools, and People?

OpenCircle’s Leadership in Business Series kicks off this September. We’ve partnered with MNP to bring you seven online facilitator-led courses that focus on three pillars vital to your business – finance, strategy, and leadership. The courses are designed to give you the skills to help you confidently sustain and grow your business.

Here’s a sneak peek into our STRATEGY courses.

Building Value to your Business

Want to learn the secret of growing the value of your business?

If you want to make your business more valuable, sell your business for more, or build a tax planning strategy that’s right for you, you’ll want to know what professional business valuators look for in a business – and once you find out, you’ll be better positioned to increase the value of your business. 

What you’ll learn:

  • Understand the “value” journey: from value creation and value strategies to the key variables that drive value
  • Learn the techniques business valuators use to value a business

Date: September 29, from 9 – 10:30 a.m. MT

Business Process Improvement

What should you keep doing, stop doing, or do differently?

When your business is operating at its best, you and your team are focused on the right things and are delivering value to your customers. When it’s not going well, you may find that the same work is being done more than once, time is being wasted, or people are doing the wrong “things.” Understanding what your business should keep doing, stop doing, or do differently, and then implementing those changes – is known as business process improvement.

What you’ll learn:

  • Learn the concept of process improvement and how it applies to your business
  • Define value for your customers and learn specific tools to improve your business processes

Date: October 18, from 9 – 10:30 a.m. MT
