Each business has unique needs. For example, your business may have, or be:
- profitable on paper, but time consuming, and tight on cash
- productive operations and advanced technologies – but not connected to enough customers
- a full order book, lots of interest in your product or service, but making little or no profit
- a market leader, but struggling to keep staff
- a long-established enterprise, a start-up business, or something in between
- a really great and well-rewarded team – but making no money for you/the company/the future
- growing fast and having trouble keeping up
- operating in a mature niche, tired and wanting to retire, but can’t see the pay-off yet
- continual problems keeping up with taxes, slow payers and increasing costs.
You get the picture, I’m sure.
Therefore we prefer to tailor our service to your unique business situation. Business “growth” is not always about building a “bigger” business. It could be growth in the bottom line, improvement in productivity, improved market engagement, and so on.
Here are SOME of the business growth services we provide:
BUSINESS GROWTH Mentoring
Have you ever tried holding up a mirror to your face and asking yourself “How did I get here? Where am I going? What can I do to improve?
Did you get an answer?
Having a mentor can be a bit like your mirror actually answering some of your questions, and importantly asking you some.
Mentoring is about having someone who knows business – to lean on, learn from, to stimulate your thinking, to help you grow as a business leader.
One-off sessions or discounted bundles are available. Let’s chat about what YOU need.
BUSINESS GROWTH Reviews
Analysis. Where have you been and where are you now? Business reviews involve the review and analysis of the current state of your business and its environments as well as providing insights on past performance. Importantly, the review can highlight the opportunities for improvement across the business. If you’ve never had a formal business or strategic plan for your business, the review can be a great starting point. If a full review is beyond your needs, or budget, we can examine and report on one or two key areas or challenges in the business.
BUSINESS GROWTH Strategic and Business Planning
Where are you going? How will you get there? What does business growth mean to you? We work with you to help you examine your business purpose, define your desired future and identify strategies and actions to take you there. We’ll explore options for adapting your approach. This could include, for example, shifts in your business model, identifying and pursuing new market opportunities, or creating more efficient operations. The Business Review is a perfect companion service to a successful strategic planning process, (but may not be essential if you have already compiled good analysis and insights from across the business, market and industry).
BUSINESS GROWTH Consulting, Projects or Assignments
