This course is intended for owners and senior managers of small and medium businesses who wish to gain a greater understanding of the internal and external factors that affect the performance of their business.

A steady flow of work is essential for any business. This course helps you work towards achieving a steady work flow by improving your market position and by working through a plan to capitalise on it.

Not having a project or a job to go to when the current one finishes has huge implications for individuals and teams. This can have a negative impact on confidence, security, motivation, productivity and behaviour.
