Flexible services, tailored to your needs. Action-oriented services, delivering change.
Each business is different with different challenges and needs - I do not force a standard set of “solutions”. My services are based on improving businesses performance. When I work with you I tailor each of the services to your specific circumstances and needs.
I understand the challenges of small businesses and my services aim to deliver action-oriented outputs quickly and effectively. I use tools and techniques to help you make change happen.
Free
Business Review and Help - Providing you with positive ideas at
no obligation
I will meet
you for up to two hours to discuss your business, establish the big questions,
provide suggestions to move them forward, and steer you to further help if
required. Even in this short amount of time I can help provide clarity,
independence and positive ideas on key issues. We can also both
understand whether there is any scope for working together further,
but this initial meeting is truly no obligation.
Balanced Scorecard - Succeed by measuring and managing the important things
Profitable
Growth - Doing more of what you do now, more
profitably
If your
business is not fulfilling its potential then I can help. The aim of this
service is to identify and implement your key business improvements that will
improve profitability and drive growth. Initially I will analyse key profit and
turnover drivers of your business. Key areas are likely to
include sales, marketing, pricing, customer service, and financial
management. Working alongside you I will then
develop performance improvement plans for each area to
deliver profitable growth. To help you make the changes (often the
hardest part) I have a several options to support you in
the implementation. I am confident I will make a positive difference
to your bottom line and I am prepared to make a significant element of my fee
dependent on the results.
Agile
Strategic Planning - Facing the future with confidence
In a changing
world a business sometimes needs to take a longer term perspective. Your time
is precious so I help you focus on a longer
term plan for your business with minimum fuss and maximum impact. Working with
your management team I use the most appropriate tried and tested strategy
planning tools for your business. Agile Strategic Planning results in a clear
strategic focus, strong agreement by the management team, and a well-defined
path for implementing the strategy.
Decision
Accelerator - Solving a thorny issue, or seizing an exciting opportunity
Where you
have a big strategic question, thorny issue or exciting opportunity, I will
work with you to understand the situation, define the
options, assess the options, and make recommendations on the next steps.
Studies such as this are sometimes known as a Feasibility Study, a Scoping
Study or perhaps even a Business Case. I can help bring a fresh approach,
new energy and an independent perspective to difficult decisions. I use
simple tools and frameworks to help bring structure to difficult or messy
problems, allowing transparent decisions to be made with confidence.
Partnering you to long term success. Putting money where my mouth is.
Where you might benefit from support over a longer period of time, I am keen to explore different ways of working with you in a true partnership with 'skin in the game' and a stake in success. I am confident that my services will bring value to your business. I am prepared to make an element of my fee dependent on the results in most circumstances.
