London Business School. This programme is to be launched in January 2007, following the identification of suitable

The programme aims to get London's small and medium sized businesses ready for substantial
growth by identifying opportunities and threats that lie ahead for each company so that it may be prepared to
leverage its assets and secure new ones if necessary.
The programme details can be broken down as follows:
What is the Fresh Perspective Programme?
A 12 month internal business planning programme for up to 20 client companies, commencing
January 2007.
How are companies recruited to participate?
Via an invitation to a programme awareness event. Reservations should be made online
at www.bizplans.co.uk/registerforfppevent.asp
What is the structure for the programme?
FPP encompasses a 3-pronged approach lasting the duration of 2007:
- A series of 2 half-day discovery workshops to be held at each client’s premises with key
management team members to uncover the issues and identify the challenges facing the company.
Establishing and documenting a common platform to move ahead from will create buy-in from everyone
involved and will be integral to effective delivery;
- The development of an internal business plan with relevant KPIs, which will provide a
strategic roadmap for universal adoption across the company; and
- Two half-day implementation reviews at six and twelve months with key management team members
to monitor progress and adapt the strategy to reflect any changes that may be required at that stage.
Who is it for?
Owner managers and company directors of growing businesses across any sector which have;
- a turnover of between £1-20 million turnover;
- between 5-100 employees
What are the benefits?
The benefits of a professionally structured, wholly interactive internal business planning
programme are abundant, with the significance of each one varying from one company to another depending upon
each company’s needs. In all cases, our experience and the feedback from our clients summarises some of the
main outcomes from the process as providing:
- The opportunity for a valuable sanity check of existing ideas and the provision of a platform to generate new ones;
- Focus and clarity across a company to enable effective implementation of the agreed way ahead;
- Substantial cost savings and increased profitability through efficient business planning to ensure the effective allocation of resources;
- Non-judgmental and impartial performance measurement by BPS to monitor and maximise growth
Client Testimonial:
"What this process has done for me has been humbling. I have learnt more about CC in two months
than in the last five years. I have a much better understanding of what we have achieved and what we are capable
of achieving in the future. Moreover, I have an indication of the risk, skills and efforts that are needed and
lastly I am much more motivated."
Suresh Punjabi, Managing Director of Corporate Communications Europe
