Future Planning for Creatives Online Workshop

Presented by Creative Plus Business in partnership with Service NSW Business Connect.

Tuesday, 4 March,  6pm – 8pm.

A business or strategic plan is more than a way to make a bank or funder happy. It can be a truly invaluable tool to help you figure out where you’re going – and why.
Summarising your creative business or arts organisation into a written plan is a great idea, but without guidance it can become a stale and unused document that never gets implemented. ‘Future Planning for Creatives’ is an online workshop that reframes and explains the planning process in a way specifically designed for creative learners, and with a focus on creating practical action plans that work. With plenty or templates and tools to discuss, this friendly and real-world workshop will help arts practitioners from beginners to more experience professionals.

Participants will discuss the following, with a focus on arts practice and creative industries:
+ The planning process in general, and how to understand the different types.
+ A look at the ‘traditional’ business and strategic plan, and the sections to focus on.
+ The importance of understanding the benefits of a vision, mission and values statement.
+ Choosing the right template for your purposes.
+ The reality of planning a professional approach with a busy personal life and artistic practice.
Resources and templates will also be provided for a variety of both business and strategic plans.

What do I get?
All participants of this workshop also receive:
+ Lifetime access to a Dropbox folder jam-packed with additional resources and helpful links.
+ A practical Workbook to assist with the interactive elements of the workshops.
+ Access to additional free webinars to supplement the material covered in the workshop.
