Business Planning Templates
Lately, a number of people have been interested in creating business plans. For many people, the idea of writing a business plan is a big, scary thing. It really isn't. The important thing to remember is that the important part is not the plan itself, but actually thinking through all the different aspects that go into a plan. In other words, the planning is important, the plan isn't. To make it easier, here are some resources for business plan templates. Most of them are simply "fill in the blank" and almost all of them contain exactly the same elements - possibly with different names or in a different order. Don't get too hung up on the particulars of the format. The first is from the Government of Canada and lists a number of templates offered by Canadian Banks. http://www.canadabusiness.ca/eng/guide/2089/ The next one comes from SCORE and includes a number of different options including a lot of spreadsheet worksheets to help with the details. The introduction to the Word document plans (Business Plan for a Start-up Business) etc. offers some good advice and the format is basically a (long) series of questions that you need to answer about your idea for the business. http://www.score.org/template_gallery.html The last set is from the BDC and again offers variations on a theme. http://www.bdc.ca/en/advice_centre/tools/business_plan/Pages/default.aspx Let me know if you have any questions and if there's enough interest, maybe we could even do a mini-Emotus workshop on business planning.

Given the number of decisions we make all the time, you’d think we would be good at it by now. Unfortunately, decision-making is still one of the hardest things for most groups (and individuals, for that matter) to do effectively. At the core, decisions are scary things. In an ideal world, we would weigh the pros and cons, everyone would agree, and a clear winner would emerge. In the real world, we often have to make big decisions on limited information in limited time.
