Offline Business Models in Excel - Practical Guide




Offline Business Models in Excel - Practical Guide

What is the aim of this course?

This course will help you drastically improve your knowledge and skills in creating business models in Excel for traditional offline businesses such as Retail, B2C services, and products, B2B services, and products. It is designed for those who want to become consultants, business analysts, and people who need to be able to analyze any business in Excel. In the course you will learn 4 things:   

  1. What your business model is about, what to concentrate on and what are the most important KPIs for you?   

  2. How to translate your business model into Excel and evaluate it?   

  3. How to draw conclusions using your business model in Excel?   

  4. Estimate  the impact of specific changes that you may consider in your business   

This course is based on my 15 years of experience as a consultant in top consulting firms and as a Board Member responsible for strategy, performance improvement, and turn-arounds in the biggest firms from Retail, FMCG, SMG, B2B, and services sectors that I worked for. I have carried or supervised over 90 different performance improvement projects in different industries that generated in total 2 billion of additional EBITDA. On the basis of what you will find in this course, I have trained in person over 100 consultants, business analysts, and managers who now are Partners in PE and VC funds, Investment Directors and Business Analysts in PE and VC, Operational Directors, COO, CRO, CEO, Directors in Consulting Companies, Board Members, etc. On top of that my courses on Udemy were already taken by more than 124 000 students including people working in EY, McKinsey, Walmart, Booz Allen Hamilton, Adidas, Naspers, Alvarez & Marsal, PwC, Dell, Walgreens, Orange, and many others.

I teach through case studies, so you will have a lot of lectures showing examples of analyses, tools that we use. To every lecture, you will find attached (in additional resources) the Excels as well as additional presentations, materials shown in the lectures so as a part of this course you will also get a library of ready-made analyses that can, with certain modification, be applied by you or your team in your work.

Why have I decided to create this course?   

Most consultants and business analysts struggle with building the business models in Excel as it requires a mixture of knowledge about the business, some fluency in simplification, and presentation in Excel the logic behind the business. By training modeling your business in Excel you gain in-depth knowledge about your business and you can spot faster the links between seemingly unrelated issues. This course is designed to fill in the gaps and turn you into an expert in business modeling. I strongly recommend this course to people who want to be in charge of the business as it will empower you to move your business forward.   

To sum it up, I believe that if you want to build or to find improvements in any business you should master techniques related to modeling the business in Excel. That is why I highly recommend this course not only to consultants or business analysts that have to advise their customers but also to owners, founders of businesses as well as investment directors.   

In what way will you benefit from this course?   

The course is a practical, step-by-step guide loaded with tones of analyses, tricks, hints that will significantly improve the speed with which you analyze and create business models in Excel. There is little theory – mainly examples, a lot of tips from my own experience as well as other notable examples worth mentioning. Our intention is that thanks to the course you will know:   

  1. How to build the model in Excel for your business   

  2. How to identify important issues for your business and how to reflect them in Excel   

  3. How to find ways in which you can significantly increase the value of the business   

  4. How to calculate the impact of proposed changes in Excel   

You can also ask me any question either through the discussion mode or by messaging me directly.
