GROW YOUR BUSINESS

Running a successful business doesn't have to overwhelm you. Good planning, systems and knowledge can make all the difference.

Our Business Support training and development services have been designed to meet the specific needs of artisans, creative enterprises and innovators. We have a wide range of impactful and relevant business workshops running all the time, both through projects we run and through our Online Learning Platform called LEARN.

Business skills workshops and webinars focus on your business vision, systems and structure, business and marketing plans, record keeping and personal development (amongst many other areas of running a successful business). Creativity and Design-led thinking workshops support your creative processes and develop your problem solving abilities to help you innovate. And, our individual business coaching and mentoring services provides customised support, helping you deal with your specific business challenges. A number of useful business tools, templates and factsheets have been developed specifically to assist you with running efficient and profitable businesses.

The CDI Business Support includes:

• Business Skills Development
• Personal Development 
• Creative Development that can help you develop innovative products
• Coaching and Mentoring
