The Challenge

You've been successful at what you've achieved to date but:

You could expand faster if you had the human and financial resource more readily available

You could vastly improve your profitability if all operations were performing as well as they should

You could beat the competition hands down if everyone had a business-owner's passion for service levels and performance

How we can help

Consider a franchise approach to release the value & potential of existing operations - and to release capital for re-investment. We can help you to convert company-owned operations to a partnership structure, and in doing so gain a motivated new business partner (perhaps an existing employee) keen to take responsibility for the performance and costs in that business unit. With management of property, staff, stock control and operating overheads now the responsibility of your partner, you are free to invest in new markets and to focus on the central issues of concept/product development and brand marketing.

In all major change programmes we apply a systematic approach to enable you and your team to identify the handful of initiatives which will have the biggest impact and make sense of the task ahead. We can help you to:

evaluate & shape the major change strategy bringing our knowledge of multiple approaches and structures to help define the commercial model

develop an implementation plan and manage the projects and tasks within it

define key business guidelines and rescope your organisation structure in line with objectives

get the right mix of people and capabilities through skills profiling and job matching

manage internal communication to build understanding and support delivery of your objectives
