The Success Cage. You've built a business that owns you. Now What?
Entrepreneurs are a special breed. They are builders and visionaries capable of creating new businesses in the face of incredible odds. They also share a secret pain. Once built, many suffer in the day-to-day management role required of them to run the businesses they have created. The Success Cage provides a roadmap to enable business leaders to refocus on their most important role for their businesses… seeing around corners and putting on the “high beams”.
Navigating Smart Growth
All organizations go through a predictable set of stages as they build in size and complexity. Understanding the characteristics of these stages, the landmines and the prerequisite skills needed to progress to the next stage is critical for the success and longevity of the firm. This interactive session uses a unique, self-administered questionnaire to identify your firm's current stage of growth and helps identify the specific actions needed to keep your firm on the path to growth.
On Page Planning
Forget telephone book-sized plans which sit in your files or in your desk gathering dust. This pragmatic, interactive session provides the framework and the steps to help you create your own One Page Plan. Further, it provides a time and market-tested system to help you execute.
