Two new lunchtime sessions have been added to the Santa Fe Innovates’ program for social entrepreneurs. These sessions are open to all but require registration for access.
Entrepreneurship is challenging. That’s why it’s so important for early-stage founders to gain perspectives and insights from successful entrepreneurs and subject matter experts.
Ron Dimon will present Budgeting, Planning & Forecasting for Social Entrepreneurs in a lunchtime presentation on Tuesday, February 8, 2022. Kelly Koepke will present Putting the Pizzazz in Your Business Writing! in a lunchtime presentation on Tuesday, February 22, 2022.
Budgeting, planning & forecasting for Social Entrepreneurs
Santa Fe Innovates mentor, Ron Dimon, will give an overview of his latest book “Connected Planning: A Playbook for Agile Decision Making” (Wiley, 2021). In this discussion, Ron will show how the act of planning – supported by data, technology & process – helps individuals, teams & ecosystems manage expectations, surface assumptions & constraints about the business, customers, and community to make better decisions. In this session, we will discuss how to get the answers to business questions including:
- What accomplishments and impact are possible with my business this year? In 5 years?
- Who is going to deliver what results, by when?
- Where are we right now, compared to where we said we would be?
- Why did we get the results & impact we got, and how can we improve?
- Are we setting ourselves up for long-term performance and scale?
Bring your business challenges, concerns, or questions and join us for a lively discussion on a virtual whiteboard.
