We concluded that there is a need for a skilled & empowered network of practitioners, and interventions to leverage digital solutions, and we founded the Entrepreneurial Planning Institute (EPI) as a non-profit organisation.

The capacity needs of coaches, mentors, & trainers were our initial focus and we offered them access to knowledge, skills, & tools to empower the entrepreneurs they support. Over time, we expanded our work in also supporting entrepreneurs to grow their businesses through digital progression. 

Our success is measured not just by empowering businesses to grow, but also by our expanding network of highly skilled practitioners & other ecosystem stakeholders who we collaborate with. 

In working with practitioners and entrepreneurs we learnt that a holistic planning approach is crucial for sustainable small business growth & job creation.
