    DETAILS

The Owners MBA: Business Analysis & Success Strategy Essentials is an eighteen-hour program (6 nights) analyzing all aspects of your growing a small business. It provides early stage business owners the information they need plus opportunities to discuss and explore aspects of their business they may not have fully thought out. Owners of more mature businesses can review decisions they have made and reconsider where they would like to go and how to get there.  The course is based on the award winning "Street MBA" developed and taught by Diener and Triplett for over ten years at Austin Community College. They extracted the most important parts of the course and reduced the time to accommodate the tighter schedules of today's business owners. The course provides the background, information and support to determine how the business will progress in the next two to three years in only six sessions.
