Morning workshop for business owners to set their 2027 objectives, choose a first-quarter focus and build a simple planning rhythm.
Planning for Growth in 2027 runs at the Hilton Reading on Friday 29 January, a morning session for business owners who want to grow but find the day-to-day noise makes it hard to plan with any real clarity. It's a three-and-a-half-hour workshop that takes you through the basics of setting your core objectives for the year, picking a clear focus for the first quarter, and working out what to stop, start and strengthen. You'll also walk away with a simple planning rhythm to keep the plan alive throughout the year, rather than letting it sit in a drawer after January.
The organisers describe it as a structured conversation about what you want, what matters most and what needs to happen next. They make a point of saying that planning doesn't need to be complex, intimidating or time-consuming. The session is built around that idea: getting the main things down on paper and figuring out the next steps without overcomplicating it. It's aimed at people who know they want to grow but struggle to find the headspace to actually map it out.
