I provide coaching and support services to ambitious businesses who are seeking performance improvement and growth. I help businesses at critical points in their life-cycle, typically during startup; planning for growth; seeking finance; when facing a downturn in business; or preparing for exit / succession. What motivates me is helping businesses turn these opportunities and threats into action.I am also a registered and approved Growth Coach for GrowthAccelerator providing expert, tailored advice to help ambitious businesses achieve rapid, sustainable growth. Please get in touch to discuss (www.growthaccelerator.com)For over 14 years I worked as a professional management consultant with big businesses. For the last few years I have focused solely on smaller clients and generated a track record of helping them achieve success. I'm looking to work with ambitious business owners who want to make that next leap forward.My approach is tailored to particular client's needs but will often involve the following elements:- Business review / diagnosis - I use a combination of diagnostic tools, interviews and research to identify priorities areas to improve performance.- Financial analysis / forecasting - Clients are often uncertain about their true profitability. I provide insightful financial analysis on the past as well as generating useful forecasts for the future.- Action planning - This is the heart of it all, generating a plan of action to take the business forward that is both ambitious and realistic.- Operational improvements - The specific actions might require expertise that clients do not have and if required I can help deliver specific projects or tasks. Where I don't have the skills I recommend trusted partners.- Coaching and ongoing support - I meet clients on a regular basis to help them review priorities, action plans, and tackle emerging issues and opportunities. It's all about keeping the momentum.Specialties: Business Coaching, Business Strategy, Business Planning, Business Performance Improvement, Financial Management, Financial Modelling, Business Modelling, Management Information, Balanced Scorecard, Project Management, Change Management, Exit Strategy, Creative Problem Solving, Innovation, Systems Thinking, Business Consultancy.
