Leanne Leigh, Director of Business Strategy, lead a One Day Strategy Workshop for Business Owners this month. The workshop is designed to allow business owners to work on their business rather than in it. By the end of the day all participants left with a strategic action plan, an understanding on strategic tools for planning and an understanding of implementation strategies. One delegate said, “the course was really informative and Leanne made a difficult topic easy to understand”.
