114 Questions to Answer Before You Make the Move from a Corporate or University Job into Your Own Business!
 

What workshop attendees are saying about this series:

"FOCUS Resources provides a great service to young companies and people with ideas for starting a business.  I know I learned a good bit from the last seminar I attended.  I have spent 15 years in startups working in operations – building structure to support the vision and moving it toward success.  The topics you address via seminars cannot always be easily learned through on-the-job training.  It is good to have seminars available to walk interested ‘students’ through topics, procedures and tasks." - Carl E. Linke, Senior Operations Executive, April 4, 2006.

  • Answering the key questions
  • Targeting the message to the audience

This two part workshop will enable attendees to initiate the first draft of a business plan and understand how business plans differ from PPMs and the legal process for developing PPMs.


Not-for-Profit Operations: Writing the Policies and Procedures that Work

Policies and Procedures for the new and growing not-for-profits.  Today's not-for-profits recognize the importance (and the requirements) of sound business systems and internal controls.  Today's not-for-profit competes for fewer dollars against more organizations and has more oversight from external (and internal) parties about how those dollars are spent.  The policies and procedures you put in place make the difference.  You have to have controls.  They have to work.  They also have to be practical.

This workshop gets you writing!

This workshop is presented in conjunction with legal, accounting, and operational consultants experienced in all aspects of not-for-profit activities.
