The Smarter Business Programme – Build a More Valuable Business

A three-hour workshop by South of Scotland Enterprise helping rural SMEs build a 90-day roadmap to make their business more scalable, resilient and fundable.

This is the fifth session in The Smarter Business Programme, a workshop series helping rural SMEs improve performance through better use of process, data, digital tools and AI readiness. Participants examine what makes a business more valuable, identify risks from owner dependency and inconsistent processes, and prioritise improvements using benefit, cost, capacity and risk. Facilitated by coach Cynthia Moore, the session concludes with attendees producing a 90-day performance roadmap, an outline business case, a benefits register, a risk view and an evidence plan.
