Co-Innovate : Business Investment Accelerator Programme: Business Assessment/Review Day

Co-Innovate Business Investment Accelerator Programme in partnership with NatWest & Business Board Room. A programme which will get you ready to pitch to potential funders and investors.

Sukhi Wahiwala, millionaire and investor, will deliver the first session of the Business Investment Accelerator Programme on 17th January 2023.

Sukhi will focus on personal profiling and the skills development of the ambitious entrepreneurs.

Why use the DISC Assessment?

DISC is a personal profiling tool which can be used to improve work productivity, teamwork, and communication. It will help you understand both your own behaviours and that of those you work with. DISC Assessment will help you to understand “what makes you who you are”, and links directly to your company’s Mission, Vision, and Values.

Part 1 of the session will discuss your ‘mindset’ – that’s how you make sense of your environment and influences how you think, feel, and behave. Sukhi will also prepare you to complete the assessment.

Part 2 will explain the D.I.S.C. elements.

Part 3 then delves into exploring who you really are and understanding yourself better.

Part 4 we use the findings to assess what you are trying to achieve, and the skills you and others will need in the growing business.

DISC Assessment helps to:

• Increase your self-knowledge: what motivates you, what causes you stress and how you solve problems, how you respond to conflicts.

• Develop stronger sales skills by identifying and responding to customer styles.

• Manage more effectively by understanding the dispositions and priorities of employees and team members, which also facilitates better teamwork.

• Become more self-knowledgeable, well-rounded and effective leaders.
