Somerset CPAs Practical MBA Program Spring 2005
The Somerset Practical MBA Program
The Somerset Practical MBA Program is a series of complimentary seminars held over the course of two years, much like a traditional MBA program. It is designed to address each aspect of your business and offer a step-by-step approach to help you achieve your goals in a simple and convenient way. You will discover that many business-building opportunities are readily available to you. We will help you tackle the challenges that are keeping you from taking advantage of them. Your business will grow and your profits will improve by working smarter rather than harder.

Each of the Somerset Practical MBA sessions are facilitated by one of our firm’s principals. Each will bring their unique experience and expertise to the program.

Our program will include a wide range of business topics, including:

• Vision, strategy and structure
• Products and services
• Marketing and sales
• People and culture
• Systems and processes
• Finance
