The One Day Business Troubleshooter
The late Sir John Harvey-Jones highlights in his book, ‘Troubleshooter’ that whilst many small businesses have the advantage of speed of response and directness of contact with their people and their customers, they encounter many problems as a result of the business owner having to be everything to everyone, all at once. Unlike large company bosses, business owners cannot often call on specialists for help and there are few people with whom they feel they can share their worries or doubts. Indeed the jack of all trades owner manager can become so overwhelmed by the heat and noise of the battle for survival that they find little opportunity to reflect on the wider issues and take a holistic view of the direction in which their business is going. One of the major areas to suffer is a lack of training.
The One day Business Troubleshooter takes place at your premises. We use a tried and tested software system to walk us through your business and take an objective, holist view of where you are now, where you want to get to and where you currently are on the journey. Featured in The Sunday Times in February 2008, the programme is designed to enable you, as business owners to implement effective strategies that improve the running of your business and your own personal skills and continuing professional development.
‘In the world of the ‘knowledge economy’, understanding what counts as knowledge, who possesses it, and how it is shared across an organisation is fast becoming one of the essential ingredients of business survival. Organisations operating in a fiercely competitive world have to stay ‘ahead of the game’, and most now understand that one of the most effective ways of achieving this is through the skills and knowledge of their people’ (Gray, 2004)

Call or email us today and take the same decisive action as Chris Noble did, to not only recover the performance of his business, but also its rapid profit improvement and business success:
“I wanted to drop you a quick line to highlight the significant improvements we have experienced since your involvement with our company. When you are as close to the detail of the business as we are, it is very difficult to see the wood for the trees and particularly any areas that require attention and more importantly be able to apply any corrective action. The systematic and rigorous approach you applied in understanding our processes, procedures and challenges has without doubt provided the most appropriate action and in doing so achieved the quickest return.
The last 6 months have seen significant changes within our business, with your support my management style has been moulded to one where I am personally more effective and able to delegate where appropriate and ensure my focus is on the key revenue areas of the business.
Following you last visit we have a clearly defined recruitment and training strategy for all team members which is already reaping rewards with our new recruits. Thanks again Dave for your continued support and I look forward to working with you again shortly”.
