3. Personal development plan
After the successful completion of the entrepreneurship
course, I am planning to further the exploitation of the entire set of
theoretical curriculum covered during the course.
As indicated above that I am originally form the Gabon,
following the complete achievement of my masters in business management, I am
planning to return to the Gabon and apply all the theories learnt in
entrepreneurship.
My first step will be the identification and development of a
core business model, which already exists, as I am planning to take over the
family agricultural business and take it to another level. My desire is to make
it grow as a recognised corporation/agri-business supplying the Gabonese
population with locally produced food. Since, the majority of products consumed
in my home town (Lastourville) are mainly exported from neighbouring countries.
The fact that the Gabonese soil has proven to be fertile and productively rich,
and since the majority of the entrepreneurial Gabonese population is turned to
the mining industry due to its rapidity in results, these factors forced me to
envisage a business venture grounded on agriculture and for commercial
purposes.
After completion of the entrepreneurship course, I elaborated
an entrepreneurial strategic pathway for the effective assembly of the
prospective organisational corporate strategy and innovation. Therefore the
strategic and innovation plan will be as follow:
- Elaboration of an innovative product: a locally produced
food product will definitely be innovative, as not much Gabonese entrepreneurs
have not envisaged the possibility;
- Building, leading, and sustaining the innovative
organisation;
- Structuring of the corporate strategy;
- Developing and managing a successful technology and product
strategy;
- Driving strategic innovation: achieving breakthrough
performance trough value chain;
- Implementing radical innovation: the corporate venturing
initiative;
- Sustainment of leadership, strategy, and innovation; and
- For the sake of the continuous business growth, the business
strategy must always be reinvented.
Should I not effectively launch my business venture, due to
financial reasons forcing me to seek for employment in any organisation? I will
apply all the knowledge acquired during the course of the entrepreneurship
subject, the fact being that I do not have previous experience; I will perform
at my best by being innovative, risk-taking (to an acceptable extent), and
proactive as today's competitive market evolves on a permanent basis; I will
have to be proactive and aware of new trends, technologies, and knowledge that
may affect positively/negatively my then career.
And the fact that I am able to speak international languages
such as French and English, and plan to further my assimilation of
international foreign languages by learning Spanish and Chinese will render me
more competitive. As, being entrepreneurial may imply travelling around the
world and implementing new business ventures in different countries, therefore
the language limitation may not be longer a barrier to my numerous business
initiatives.
