Are you starting an organization, or hoping to expand or improve a current one? A business plan is a tool for an organization that sets objectives accompanied with a plan to achieve them. This course will help you research and write the business plan that you will need to lead you toward success. Learn what sort of advance research you should do, the things that should be included in the plan, and the steps that are used to create a usable and feasible business plan. Lynn O'Connell has led more than 35 organizations through the strategic-planning process over the past 20 years. A few examples of her clients include the National Military Family Association, the TV Project, Different Drum School, and the Bar Association of the District of Columbia.
