<p>I wonder how many of us made plans for the year on 1 January only to forget them soon afterwards!<br />
The idea of business planning is a real turn off to many busy, practical business owners – no time, no<br />
certainty, no skills, no belief that it will do any good!</p>
<p>Yet most of us would not buy a new computer without some sort of planning, we would plan an<br />
expensive holiday, if we going to buy a new vehicle we will probably look at a few and try them out<br />
first, if we are to buy a house or getting married we will certainly be doing plenty of planning.<br />
Planning is part of all our lives yet many business owners continue to make decisions which cost<br />
money and which often involve other people, on the smell of an oily rag!<br />
Business planning has a bad name in New Zealand – it is often seen as cumbersome, bureaucratic, too<br />
hard, unnecessary, irrelevant, not practical.</p>
<p>Come and join Chris Elphick as he removes the myths around planning and provides us with an<br />
approach to planning which not only is proven to work, but is also fun!!</p>
<p>On Tuesday 6th March&nbsp;Chris examines what planning is all about and why we should all do it.<br />
On Tuesday 20th March he focuses on what a plan could look like and how to create one.<br />
Finally in this series, on Wednesday 28th March&nbsp;he looks at how we keep our planning alive, real, relevant and focused on getting the business growth we want and deserve.</p>

Perhaps you have already begun using various Social Media platforms in a business context?</p>
<p >While Social Media started out as sites for individuals to stay in contact with friends and<br />
families or to meet new people, it is now a phenomenon which is very much a part of the<br />
global marketplace. Businesses, small and large alike, are tapping into what has become an<br />
invaluable resource for engaging with consumers. It is a platform for free advertising, it<br />
reaches consumers on a grand scale and it can provide businesses with a unique snapshot of<br />
the market-place and what customers are thinking.<br />
But it is also a legal minefield.</p>
<p >If you are considering or are already using Social Media to promote<br />
your business then you should find out the legal issues that can<br />
arise and learn how to mitigate them.</p>
<p>Your Presenter:<br />
Kirsten Ferguson is an Associate at Duncan Cotterill Lawyers. She is<br />
a commercial lawyer with a particular focus on Intellectual Property<br />
and consumer-related business issues.</p>
