need attending to both personal and intellectual needs.(Di Risio, 2019)

Unique Selling Point

Unlike from other online learning platforms StudyNest offers way much more support network
that goes beyond just giving students a place to study. Academic resources combined with
mental health care and community-building activities help to create a comprehensive
environment that promotes student accomplishment and well-being. The programme is unique
among others because of its feature. One of a kind shared office space StudyNest was
designed with the goal of greatly improving the whole student experience. The unique features
of this educational institution are its quiet study areas, collaborative workplaces, and regular
workshops designed to meet the needs of the students.

Business Structure

StudyNest will be structured as a Private Limited Company (Ltd) due to several benefits. This
structure offers limited liability, protecting the personal assets of the founders and shareholders,
and minimizes financial risk. Further more, because of the limited liability company's controled
form and open governance, it helps with the the acquisition of capital from investors who are
more at ease investing in such companies. This is so because limited liability coorporation
investing makes investors feel more at ease. In addition, a Private Ltd Company will increase
the professionalism and credibility, which will attract more members and possible business
associates. For this company, this will have favourable results. The company's founders will
have kept some control over the business while also granting some latitude in its management
and operations.

the company and important stakeholders will make up the board of directors, which will be a
part of the management team. The goal of this will be to guarantee cooperative decision
making. The departments of operations, marketing, customer service, and finance will make up
the organisational structure; knowledgeable managers will oversee each of them. The goal of
this will be to guarantee effective and efficient running of the operations. StudyNest will be able
to meet its objective of offering the best services to students at the lowest feasible cost and yet
be able to grow its business with the support of this structure.(Andreou, 2023)
Leadership Skills
To effectively lead StudyNest, doing a leadership audit on iLearn helped me find my flaws. The
results gave me a overview of my leadership strengths and areas for more improvement. The
audit really revealed that my key strengths include strong communication skills. the ability to
inspire and motivate others and a collaborative approach to solving problems quick. These
strengths are important for creating an inclusive and dynamic environment at StudyNest, where
students and staff can thrive.The audit however, also pointed up areas where I could improve
such as my time management and task delegation. Tho occasionally I take on too many jobs at
once, which wears me out and reduces my productivity, I work well with others. Knowing this,
I'm going to become a better delegater by assigning my team members more work and the
support they need to succeed. Along with making me a stronger leader this will enable my team
to advance their own ablities.

Using a council type leadership for StudyNest is what I have chosen after my audit. Because it
engages everyone, encourages innovation and improves decisions by utilizing everyone's
ideas, this kind of leadership matches both my strengths and the requirements of our coworking
environment. When individuals collaborate, as at StudyNest, where the success of our services
depends on the ideas and active involvement of both staff and students, democratic leadership
functions best. Better service for our members will result from my team feeling like they own and
are valued by me.First and foremost, we will provide competitive compensation and benefits to
ensure that every physical requirement of our employees is satisfied. The reason people work is
that they feel safe and valued when they are paid enough. After then by making the workplace
secure and safe. we will attend to the safety demands. This includesnot only physical safety but
also employment stability, a supportive and a secure place to work.To adress social demands,
we will organize social events and team building exercises for our employees that will make
them feel a part of a community. StudyNest needs good work chemistry since employees needs
work together to provide the students with the best service possible. Regular team meetings
and contact will also make everyone feel productive and heard.We will put up a solid system of
incentives and recognition to acknowledge and celebrate the labor and achievements of
employees in order to satisfy their demand for self-esteem. This might cover opportunities for
"professional development,", "performance bonuses," and "employee of the month." Knowing
they will be compensated for their hard work will make employees feel better about themselves
and more driven to continue working hard Finally by offering you many opportunities to advance
in your career and develop personally, we will promote self-actualization. This may offering staff
members oportunities for mentoring, workshops, and training programs to advance in their jobs
and pick up new abilities. Encouragement of staff members to continue learning and developing
will benefit them as well as the team's overall abilities, which will ultimately benefit
StudyNest.These concepts will enable the StudyNest leaders to identify areas for improvement
while maintaining their attention on the positive aspects. Every team member will feel valued
and engaged in the democratic leadership decision-making process. Everyone working together
and feeling welcome will result from this. StudyNest will apply Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs to
create an environment where employees may develop both personally and professionally in
addition to meeting their basic needs. This approach will help to maintain the employees
extremely motivated, content, and productive. this involves regularly seeking for team members'
opinions on significant issues and promoting their sharing of ideas. When organizing new
seminars or events, we'll conduct staff brainstorming sessions to draw on their ideas and
inventiveness. We will also provide frequent opportunities for employees to provide us with
input, such as surveys and one-on-one meetings, so that we may rapidly identify and solve their
needs and concerns.
I plan to keep developing further enhance my leadership abilities. To this aim, they ought to
attend leadership seminars, seek advice from more seasoned executives, and stay current on
best practices and management and leadership trends. I will be better equipped to manage
StudyNest and make it an environment where employees and students may both perform their
best if I commit to my personal development.

Marketing Plan

Our target market is college and university students between the ages of 18 and 25 who are
looking to study in a personal and useful environment. There are other coworking places like
coffee shops, university libraries, but others can be too distracting. By looking at their pros and
cons, we can figure out what gaps in the market StudyNest can fill, like the need for specialized
student support services and community-building projects StudyNest has a lot of unique goods,
and one of them is a support network that combines academic tools, mental health help,. The
most important parts of our system are designed to meet the needs of each student. These
have open group workspaces for working together on projects, complete with high-speed
internet and necessary tools like printers and whiteboards, as well as quiet study areas for
focused, one-on-one work that are free of distractions. There will also be regular events and
training on how to manage your time, plan your future, study. To help students' mental health
even more, StudyNest will also offer stress management classes, mindfulness classes, and
therapy services on-site. Our on-site café will serve healthy meals and drinks all day long at
prices that won't break the bank. The unique environment at StudyNest helps students grow
both academically and personally, making it stand out from other university libraries and co-
working spaces.

Plans to promote will use digital marketing, relationships with influential people, and
participation on campus to get more people to join and spread the word.Our marketing
campaign will mostly rely on social media initiatives akin to those on Facebook, Instagram, and
TikTok. These olatforms will help us to reach students with eye catching postings and material.
Stories and posts highlighting StudyNest's capabilities and value help to highlight We also want
to establish connections with authors of educational materials and student influencers who
might truly recomend StudyNest to others following them. This will increase our credibility and
assist us to reach more individuals. (Baluch, 2024)

Another aspect of our strategy to advance will be our involvement on university. On various
college campus we will organise seminars and other activities to demonstrate how StudyNest
may suport students and inspire them to join. Students will have the opportunity to view our
offerings. firsthand at these events and speak with potential members. Working with university
departments and student groups, we will also help StudyNest be known through their media
and networks.To satisfy the requirements and finances of a broad spectrum of individuals,
StudyNest will provide membership plans including daily, weekly, and monthly options.For
students, we will provide discounts; for those who bring others to use our offerings, we will
present awards. This will make them simple to obtain and inspire others to inform their friends of
us. Since all of our rates are reasonable, we wish to attract many students and ensure that the
ones most in need of our offerings may afford them. Free seminars and events, discounts at the
on-site cafeteria, and free mental health support services will help to make the agreement even
better. These developments will make StudyNest a better environment for cooperation and
study than other websites.Because StudyNest is strategically close to big colleges and
universities, our target market will find it simple to utilise. Working with educational institutions,
we will disseminate the message to students straight through public outlets such newsletters,
campus bulletin boards, and websites. Placing StudyNest in locations that many students visit
will help prospective members locate us and tour our facilities more quickly. We will also invest
on premium signs and branding to help our brand to be even more identifiable and appealing in
these locations.

At last, StudyNest's marketing strategy will centre on creating a distinctive product that satisfies
student needs by means of efficient marketing techniques to attract more people to join, provide
flexible and reasonably priced pricing options, and ensure that important sites provide simple
access. Paying close attention to the particular demands and wants of our target market willhelp
us to make StudyNest the ideal venue for students to work and build and a helpful environment
supporting their success in life and in the classroom.
