Afternoon
An action learning session with Caroline Jackman
This facilitated session will help the group work together on sharing any challenges and barriers following the Visualising session. The session outline will be steered by the group and a new set of actions will be created by each participant, depending on their needs.
Each participant will have a new set of resources to support them deliver their actions before the next session in September. Participants will be encouraged to start to populate their business plan template.
