I Would Like to...

Scale-Up

My business runs well but I need to take the business to the next level with the least amount of risk possible.

Start-Up

I want to start-off growing my business successfully with the least amount of risk and mistakes along the way.

Fix-Up

I need to know my business is there to work for me and not me for it. I'm challenged and don't want my business or I to fail.

MAKE IT SO!

Are you in Need of Growth?

We must make a choice and act! Do what is required to achieve results in the business. Many consider this a complex process, but we consider this a simple one requiring sophistication and repeatability.

The business itself is not complex. Where complexity emerges is with people that make up every single strong and weak element in the business. This complexity starts and ends with the author of the business - the CEO who relies on his/her effectiveness in leveraging and using the human asset. This asset is not limited just to employees, but to the business's customer (market), vendors, and strategic business alliances. The people asset is by far the single most powerful competitive advantage any business has if leveraged and managed well enough.

Employee Asset

Human resource management is often a necessary evil of compliance and administration producing very little return on investment. Transitioning this asset from a stagnant to a growing business asset is achieved through

Customer/Client Asset

Customer / Care retention is not typically a direct and conscious focus by the Business. Once acquired, the business's focus is less on retention and much more on the acquisition. Acquiring new market share is so much more costly than retaining existing market share, therefore it makes sense to have a deep constant focus on the market. This includes nurturing the market share a business has already won.

Vendors / Supplier Asset

It takes one wrong decision when selecting a vendor or supplier to create significant damage. Disrupting a company's supply chain sends a shockwave through the business, its employees and the market. Selecting and growing a relationship with the vendor is not just about the best and lowest price, but about two-way commitment, clear expectations and accountability.

Strategic Alliance Asset

Building business alliances are like any relationship. It requires constant two-way commitment, clear expectations and accountability. Even more important are similar values associated with how both parties perceive and deliver "value" to the market. Making hasty decisions by great visions of "profit" due to a potential relationship typically steers business leaders in the wrong direction only to regret this decision and relationship at the end.

Managing People

Every single transaction that makes up a business's profit and loss occurs because of an "interaction" between individuals. Being able to leverage and utilize the PEOPLE asset is not just common sense but financial sense. MONEY is the outcome of human effort and any investment, business needs a solid return. If the human asset is only growing capital asset a business has (all other non-human assets devalue), would it not make sense to make this a priority investment?

Don't allow the management of human resource assets in the business to become a necessary evil of legal and policy compliance. This does not lead to increased revenue and wealth creation for any business.
