Through these past few months of uncertainty, business owners have been incredibly creative in adapting to the global situation, reacting quickly to continue operations safely amidst new restrictions. With the landscape constantly evolving, decisions are often led by instinct in the moment, but may not be sustainable in the long term. As we work towards reopening fully, we may be considering adjusting our business model, transitioning our products/services, or targeting new markets we've never considered before. Changes of this magnitude need a solid strategy behind them to guide future decision-making, to ensure that objectives are clear, and to reduce the stress caused by operating solely in survival mode. Please join us for this free workshop with workfactors to learn some strategic planning tools that you can put to use in your business. By end of talk, participants will be able to: Summarize the relationship between a business plan and a strategic plan. Define and discuss the Five Questions of Strategic Planning. Conduct a preliminary assessment of their business using the Five-Box Strategy Blueprint TM to guide calibration efforts.
Please think about which Barrie business inspires you, and submit their name for the 2020 Barrie Business Awards.

In recent months, we have truly seen the spirit of Team Canada, as every level of government has come together to ensure that Canadian families and businesses are helped through the economic implications of COVID-19. They have announced supports, listened to feedback, and then made adjustments to meet the needs of Canadians. The cooperation of all involved has made the decision-making process faster than we've ever seen before. As we move towards reopening, the situation continues to evolve daily, and the task of guiding Canadians through Covid-19 is far from over. Government is still actively seeking input to ensure that needs are met, and to address the issues faced by various sectors and communities. Barrie area elected officials have been invited to give an update and then answer your questions.
