How to DRAFT a Business Plan?

via Udemy

Overview

Simple method to draft a plan in less than 2 hours.

What you'll learn:
  • Draft a Business Plan
  • Structure your idea
  • Create alignment amongst your team

This course is made for people that want to quickly and economically draft a plan to structure their idea and create alignment inside their team.

It’s ideal for people that wants to get a direction for their business but don’t want (or don’t need) to spend months in developing a complete plan such as:

  • Freelancers,
  • Existing entrepreneurs looking for growth,
  • Tech starters with few capital requirements

The main benefits are:

  • Structure your ideas
  • Get a clear direction
  • Create alignment inside your team

We use a visual method with brainstorming templates and post it.

The course is structured in 5 building blocks:

  • The Entrepreneur: Understanding the characteristic an entrepreneur should have in order to be successful.
  • The Analysis: In this section we will carry out a simple external analysis looking at Environment, Industry, Market, Customer
  • The Opportunity: After the Analysis we will identify our opportunity
  • The Plan: In the planning section we will clearly show the different elements that constitute the plan.
  • The Risks: Finally we will identify risks and develop risk mitigation strategies

At the end of this course, you will have a clearer idea of what you want to do with your business. You will also be able to draft a simple DECK presentation to discuss your plan.

Attention I got some confusion before, here is the definition of "DRAFT" used as a verb (ref:the free dictionary) it's also the one I use :

  1. to draw up an outline or sketch for something to draft a speech
  2. to prepare a plan or design of

If you want to write a plan and approach investors, you might want to use this course to create a first draft but we advise you to take our other course on how to "Create a damn good business plan?!", more suitable for this purpose.
