TİM-TEB Entrepreneurship House

Türkiye's first Entrepreneurship House model

We launched the Entrepreneurship House model with TEB in 2013, and from 2015 expanded it with the Turkish Exporters Assembly (TİM) into the TİM-TEB Entrepreneurship Houses. Our goals are to grow the number of technology entrepreneurs, create qualified jobs, increase the share of high-tech exports and bring regional equality of opportunity to entrepreneurship across Anatolia.

Within the Entrepreneurship House programmes we provide Business Analysis, Strategic Growth Business Plans and Future Strategies Conferences.

Management Consulting

We start by measuring and grow with a plan

Every engagement begins with an analysis of where the business stands today. From there we continue with one or more of the programmes below, depending on what's needed.

01

Business Analysis (Status Rating)

Examines core and support functions down to sub-activity level to show where the company stands in its development.

02

Strategic Growth Business Plan

Brings market research, marketing and production plans and financial projections together in a single management plan.

03

Future Strategies Conference

All stakeholders review the past and present together, set future goals jointly, and receive a written report.

04

Business Process Management and Improvement

Redesigns recurring and changing business activities to raise operational efficiency.

05

Growth and Foreign Trade Development

Alternates foreign trade training with one-to-one consulting sessions to build a lasting export structure.

06

Strategic Development and Sustainability

Moves from current-state, sector and SWOT analysis to a concrete action plan.

77

Our Business Analysis assesses a company's strategy, organisation and management structure across 77 control points, so decisions about what to fix first rest on data rather than debate.
