Introduction
Thank you for enrolling in the upcoming Virtual training seminar.
It is important to take 10-15 minutes to complete the “My Business Assessment”
in this packet. This will serve as a guide to building your business prototype and
will evaluate your current business state.
If more than one person in your organization is attending this Virtual training, be
sure to have each person complete an assessment to capture their unique
perception of the business.
Please take the assessment at least five days prior to the training event. A survey
will be sent to you three days prior to the Virtual training date, where you will be
asked to share your assessment results.
