Business Plan Training

At VUMC, administrators and managers write business plans for new ventures, programs, and major equipment purchases. The purpose of writing a business plan is to refine your original idea in order to convince others that your vision is an appropriate use of resources. Business Planning is a tool for evaluating how you can improve your department or business.

The Department of Finance offers a basic Business Planning seminar to help staff at the medical center who need to write a business plan. These seminars are advertised and registered through the Learning Center and facilitated by Debora Shiflett from the Department of Finance. The seminars cover the fundamentals of business planning using the materials included in the Business Planning Guide for VUMC.
