Brunel Co-Innovate Journeys in association with St. James’s Place Wealth Management Entrepreneur Club launched a 6-week business-planning programme to help you and your business plan and strengthen your business for the future.

The webinars are delivered via Zoom as it allows good interaction between the participants. We have been using Zoom to deliver webinars to our clients and have had very good feedback.

The webinars are facilitated by Co-Innovate Journeys Innovation Director Naima Omasta-Milsom along with Robert Palmer of Palmer Wealth Management and Neil Rowland of Rowland Wealth Management Ltd who are in separate practices for St. James’s Place Wealth Management* and Martin Brown CEO of Elephants Child Advisory Ltd in the presence of Brunel academics that will cover both the business growth and planning support as well as some of their academic insights.

This programme is designed to help you look, think and develop your business with themes covering:

• Productivity
• Profitability
• Planning
• Growth

The webinars are a mix of delivery and engagement e.g. video, PowerPoint, working sessions. The themes that we cover mean that the attendees will have a broad and holistic view of all of the areas that they need to be thinking about (and taking action on).
