A business plan is a formal statement of a set of business goals, the reasons why they are believed attainable, and the plan for reaching those goals. It may also contain background information about the organization or team attempting to reach those goals.

8th Grade Team Building

"The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese."

Decide if your team wants to be the 'early bird' or the 'second mouse'.

Your team has 5-10 minutes to develop a 60-second presentation as to why their strategy ('early bird' or 'second mouse') is best for business.

Make use of the knowledge, abilities, and views of all team members in creating the presentations.

"Early bird or second mouse: Which is the most effective strategy for business?"
