A practical, full day session to help you get clear on your direction, sharpen your strategy and create a plan that works in the real world,

You’re running a business, you’re making it workday to day but somewhere between the urgency of today’s emails and this month’s invoices, the bigger question ‘where is this actually going?’ doesn’t always get answered.

You’re not alone, when Tees Valley Combined Authority recently spoke to over 80 businesses across the region, business planning and strategy came out as the single most cited challenge.

The discussions told us that the businesses that are surviving are often struggling to find the time, space and structure to think clearly about how to grow. This session is designed to help you do exactly that.

What you’ll take away

• A clear view of where your business is right now
• A practical strategic framework you can adapt and use
• Tools to set meaningful priorities and make better decisions faster
• A one-page plan you leave with (not a 40-page document nobody reads)
• Access to further business support through Business Tees Valley

Who this is for?

• Established businesses ready to move things forward
• Business owners feeling reactive rather than proactive
• Those who have a vision but struggle to translate it into a plan
• Directors and managers responsible for business direction

This session is delivered by Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council on behalf of the Tees Valley Mayor and Combined Authority, with places fully funded for eligible participants across Tees Valley (Darlington, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar & Cleveland and Stockton-on-Tees) through the UK Government’s UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
