Business skills
Enhance your decision making and learn to create your own business plans and roadmaps.
Decision making
On a personal level, making a decision seems to be easy. We do it every day. On a business level it’s a lot harder to see the forest from the trees.
- Which variables do we take in account?
- How do we validate these arguments?
- How do we measure the pro’s and con’s?
- How do we foresee the impact of a decision?
Argentum teaches you and your staff a strategic way to go about making decisions. Not only because you’ll make better choices, but you will be able to explain to your stake- and shareholders why you came to that conclusion.
Creating business plans
Size doesn’t matter for a good business plan. A local business benefits as much from a strong held corporate manifest as any worldwide enterprise. It’s coming up with a good business plan that’s tricky.
Argentum takes you through the steps of writing (and altering!) a solid business plan. You don’t have a vision until everyone knows what it is.
Creating road maps
It might be as big as the implementation of a new technology or as simple as a change in the working schedule of the lunch room personnel. Change can cause havoc when you haven’t thought it through.
Argentum teaches you an efficient way to map out a path to a new situation. Road mapping skills are for life. It’s up to you to acquire them early.
Personal skills
Argentum offers training in useful personal skills as time management, office efficiency and presentation skills.
Presentation skills
Knowing how to present your project to financers, shareholders and decisionmakers makes the difference between success and failure.
