Business Development defined -

What is BD? Where do SMART-HutNet add Value to your Proposition?

Business development entails conducting activity, tasks and processes to develop and implement growth opportunities within and between organisations. It is a subset of the fields of business, commerce and organisational theory. Business development is the creation of long-term value for an organisation from new customers, markets, and relationships.

Business development can be taken to mean any activity by either a small or large organisation, non-profit or for-profit enterprise which serves the purpose of ‘developing’ the business in some way. In addition, business development activities can be conducted in-house, outsourced to a business development specialist, or a combination of all three. External business development can be analysed, reported upon and measured by improving and automating your business processes, - migrating from manual processes to improve department-wide effiiciency.
