For (groups of) entrepreneurs micro-, small- and -sized enterprises (MSE), (micro-)finance institutions and support organizations (for example, NGOs, foundations, federations, public entities and organizations working in the sector of international cooperation), WS CONSULT offers technical assistance in the following thematical areas:
Workshops and consultancy: WS CONSULT offers workshops and consultancy for entrepreneurs and MSE, including issues such as business creation, planning and improvement, more recent techniques (lean start-up, CANVAS, design thinking, among others), business and investment plans, traditional and digital marketing, brand development and -protection, accounting and taxes, import-export, and others. This includes the possibility to implement training-programs which adjust to the particular needs of all parties involved (entrepreneurs/MSE, (micro-)finance institutions, support organizations) with respect to contents and operative details.
Creation of educational material: our services include the creation (and, if necessary, initial instruction) of workshops, courses and other educational material or contents on different subjects, particularly in the field of entrepreneurship, financial education and training for adults.
Management system: this system is a great solution to different common and crucial problems of support entities and other small- and medium-sized institutions. In its basic form, the tool provides adequate follow-up-mechanisms for projects and the personnel involved, helping in evaluating the expenditure of ongoing and finished projects. We recommend to complement the system with a cost-utility analysis (which can but not need to be provided or assisted by us), creating reports with “hard evidence” on the cost-utility-relation of ongoing and finished projects which provide vital information for better managerial decisions.
