 | | | Business Development | | | | | | Strategic Business Planning | | Strategic planning is an organization's process of defining its strategy, or direction, and making decisions on allocating its resources to pursue this strategy. In order to determine the direction of the organization, it is necessary to understand its current position and the possible avenues through which it can pursue a particular course of action. Generally, strategic planning deals with at least one of three key questions: | | | 1. "What do we do?"
2. "For whom do we do it?"
3. "How do we excel?" | | | | In many organizations, this is viewed as a process for determining where an organization is going over the next year or—more typically—3 to 5 years (long term), although some extend their vision to 20 years. | | |  If you need assistance with Strategic Business Planning, please email Sean or phone (01) 244 1194. | | | | | | Budgets & Projections | A budget is a financial plan and a list of all planned expenses and revenues. It is a plan for saving, borrowing and spending.[1] A budget is an important concept in microeconomics, which uses a budget line to illustrate the trade-offs between two or more goods. In other terms, a budget is an organizational plan stated in monetary terms.
In summary, the purpose of budgeting is to:
1. Provide a forecaste of revenues and expenditures, that is, construct a model of how our business might perform financially if certain strategies, events and plans are carried out.
2. Enable the actual financial operation of the business to be measured against the forecast. | | | If you need assistance with your Budgets & Projections, please email Sean or phone (01) 244 1194. | | | | | | Grant Applications / Funding | | | Enterprise Ireland:
