		<description>I teach BP as a sceptic. I make students challenge the underlying assumptions, the timeframes, the relevance of each component. I never assess the &#039;structure&#039; but hopefully they learn critical thinking, continuous adaptation and risk taking as the essential elements. Hopefully that is more releavant than the old thinking of a specic outline and a once-a-year process that is signed off by an excec team about 3 months after it has lost its relevance.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That is all I meant to say. I am sure many people already use business planning (the process) well as opposed to business plans (the product).</description>

		<description>Thank you for the feedback. I have to ask, if you don&#039;t really believe it, why teach it? There must be something else you can teach - getting creative inside your own class / with the curriculum - that would tie more closely to what you believe in and are passionate about...</description>

		<description>Niall - I don&#039;t think the examples are extreme at all, probably quite common for most people starting their first businesses. They start with a few dollars in their pockets and they either raise additional capital or don&#039;t. It&#039;s clear in your case that raising additional capital added a level of comfort that didn&#039;t help the business stay focused and succeed as much as it should have. It&#039;s not a lesson against raising money, only a smart, poignant cautionary tale about focus. Thanks.</description>
