> Why this course could be important for you....
>
> Archaeology is becoming an increasingly commercialised profession.
> For most organisations, it is impossible to do archaeological work
> well unless the business is run effectively. Senior archaeologists
> are aware that financial, political and social factors are
> accelerating the pace of change, and that their organisations will
> face increasing demands and pressures. This course equips
> archaeological managers with the tools they need to plan for their
> future success.
>
> Participants on the course will be able to:
> · understand the nature and relationships of the Business Planning
> process, and its links to other forms of planning;
> · explore the use of various types of Business Planning techniques;
> · analyse strategic issues at the core of business plans;
> · decide how to organise the Business Planning process to best
> advantage within their organisation;
> · review how to use their completed Business Plan with other
> stakeholders;
> · input the financial elements required to calibrate their Business
> Plan.
>
> This course is intended to be highly interactive and to draw upon the
> experiences of participants. It will involve simulation exercises,
> working in small groups, regular feedback and presentations.
