What did participants say they took from the programme?
“I have appointed a SLT - which has had a HUGE impact on the amount of delivery I personally undertake and the effectiveness I now have to focus on strategy. I now have the confidence to know I have tried and tested methods which have seen other businesses flourish and that insight and knowledge makes me feel less like I am making it up and more that I am driving the business for growth with knowledge and awareness.”
“Accountability which in turn has seen us recover a huge amount of debts resulting in us having more expendable cash available to help grow the business”
"Changed mindset Will be restructuring next week. Getting the right people on the bus (and the wrong ones off the bus!). Also changing accountant to provide better financials and data that matters. Loved the team sessions. Only really just getting the chance to start implementing learnings.”
“Bringing clarity to the goal. Getting a strategy down on paper. Learning from experiences shared by others.”
“Time to reflect and look forward strategically. Working with Ian and the cohort!”
“Clarity, Awareness and Organisation.”
“Changing business structure, delegating more, prioritising better, improving employment procedures, having better control over finances and people.”
