Business Focused Strategy
Nothing happens on its own, business takes planning and implementation
I have developed flexible programmes from my own experience as a business owner.
Plan & Implementation
Owning and operating businesses has taught me that you have to plan to get anywhere. Also that without implementation you just have a pipe dream.
It takes big picture and small details for you to achieve your goals.
Decide what you want to do, how you are going to do it, when you are going to do it by, who is going to be responsible for what, how you are going to measure success, how often it needs to be measured and when to review. Easy.
Business Mentoring & Coaching
I can meet regularly with the owners and senior leadership team to help them reflect, plan and achieve business goals.
Sometimes a sounding board is all you need, at other times a new perspective, and then there are times you need someone to roll up their sleeves and help work the problem.
I am happy to provide whichever role is most appropriate at the time.
Growth - How, What and Why?
It's easy to say we want our businesses to grow, but what does that mean? It could be more people, new markets, new products, more from existing markets, efficiencies, innovations, developments, opening offices or a multitude of other things.
I can help you talk through the options, select the right one, for the right reason and make a plan to make sure it gets done.
Innovation
One of the hardest things to do in any business is innovation, I had countless experiences in 25 years owning and operating businesses to know that every one is a challenge, which takes careful planning.
What is the benefit? What is the cost (how and to who)? Make something ourselves or outsource something that already exists? How do we explain it to the team? How do we make sure the change sticks? How do we check its done what we planned? How do we achieve feedback loops? It goes on...
There's a lot to think about and getting it wrong can have big consequences. Planning is the key, at the start, in the middle and at the end.

Helpful Actionable Input
More than just a conversation, I will provide a concise summary of our discussions, with findings and recommendations. So you can act on what you decide.
I can also introduce you to other relevant parties if and when helpful.
