ONLINE: Digital Processes for Creative Business

Creative practitioners face unique challenges when trying to build and grow their businesses. How on earth can you find ways to better manage everything that needs to be done, while also doing the majority of the work? The ‘key person risk’ is truly an issue when the entire success of the business rests on the shoulder of one tired person (you).

This online workshop makes the time to discuss ways to ensure the longevity of a creative or cultural business, with the help of systems, processes and technology. Key topics to be discussed are:

+ How do I work out the systems and processes I need?
+ What are the practical steps involved in process planning?
+ What are the main process gaps in small creative businesses?
+ How does a Digital Workflow work?
+ What are the steps to creating a Digital Strategy?
+ What are the best and most effective digital tools out there for managing process gaps?
+ Where can I go for more help?

This online workshop will be relaxed and informal. You can ask all the questions you have never been able to ask before and will have ample opportunity to learn from each other. 

Ideal for: This workshop is tailored specifically to creative people who are (or want to be) self-employed in some capacity. It is ideal for recent graduates, freelancers and small arts organisations.

What do I get? All participants of this workshop also receive:
+ Printed materials to help during the workshop;
+ Lifetime access to a dedicated dropbox folder full of additional resources and help;
+ Access to a web page full of links and resources to help you get ahead in their creative business.
