“Discover the single most effective way to make your business a well-oiled money making machine… Get you and your team rolling towards your business goals in less than 3 weeks!”
First, let me tell you about a client…
My client is the CEO of a technology business with about 11 staff. Business was good. No big problems. Profits were OK but could be better, cash flow was good and she knew that they could capture more of the market.
Life in her office was chaotic. Everyone was always busy. Her staff were not sure what the priorities were and they flipped between projects. Staff tended to chase lots of opportunities that ended up being dry gullies. This was causing frustration and staff performance was dropping off.
Beth wanted to reduce the chaos in the office and to reduce the levels of frustration that staff were feeling. A bit extra profit would be great as well.
“It’s no secret that many busy people have the same challenge…”
After talking to Beth I realised that no one would have time for a long program to straighten a few things out. They were simply too busy. So we sat down to some brainstorming. We came up with a solution to meet her needs. More about that later… In the process of working with hundreds of smaller companies the following are some of the issues I’ve heard over and over again. Some may sound familiar to you.
- You are too busy to do a strategic plan. It’s a struggle. You know that it will help your business but you just don’t have the time. Can you afford to divert resources into planning right now?
- You need more clarity in your direction. Everyone you’ve spoken to says that you’ll need to work through a complicated process even to make a start. You have too much on your plate to cope with that right now.
- Overall previous experience tells you that the whole goal setting process has been frustrating. It all sounds like a good idea in theory but the goals are often unrealistic and the practicalities are difficult. And then everyone gets demotivated because the goals have just fallen by the wayside.
OK, if the above fits you then keep reading Despite the fact that company surveys and university research have shown that goal setting achieves results, many companies see it as simply too difficult. They know they need to do something. But what they want is a simpler, easier and more effective way to set direction and achieve goals. They want…
- A process to set goals and direction that is quick AND effective. You would be happy to follow an approach that you could be sure actually worked. You’re not looking for miracles but a straightforward proven method would be great.
- A way to communicate to all staff what the goals for the year will be. You’re tired of talking to your staff about the priorities and direction and getting no real result. They just keep doing the same things. But how do you get the message across so that it makes a difference in behaviour?
- Goal setting that you can actually apply. You’ve tried lots of processes and you set the goals but somehow implementation just doesn’t happen. You want to achieve your goals, not have them written in a plan that sits in your drawer till next time.
Well, there is a solution.
Announcing Business Blitz
It’s actually easy to accomplish these objectives once you start using a new process that I developed after my meeting with Beth - the Business Blitz. It’s a new method to set goals and put in place a process to achieve your goals. It is a quick and easy process. This is what I promise you will get from Business Blitz:
- Goals that need to be achieved in the next 12 months
- Goals that are documented and prioritised with set deadlines for action
- Staff that understand their own goals and what they need to focus on
- Clarity in direction.
Finally, you and your staff will have a simple and highly effective Action Plan that can be implemented immediately. All this can be done in just 10 hours spread over 3 weeks.
We’ve stripped away all the complexity. It couldn’t be easier. We have the process, the tools and the templates to fast track your goal setting and action plan. You could never do this on your own in this timeframe.
You can start working right away and achieve your goals month by month. You can review your goals at staff meetings, priorities can be easily adjusted when unexpected work surges hit. With this approach…
You’ll know what to do… You staff will know what to do… You’ll have flexibility without losing the integrity of the process… And you’ll feel good!
Why should you consider Business Blitz? There are three reasons:
Reason #1 You will finish Business Blitz with a complete Action Plan with clear goals, priorities and staff responsibilities. As well, staff can be involved in developing the Action Plan. This builds ownership and greatly increases the successful implementation of the Action Plan.
Reason #2 Business Blitz is based on our very successful strategic planning processes. It uses similar material but in a format that allows you to complete Business Blitz in just a matter of hours. Don’t get me wrong. This does not replace a strategic planning process. But you don’t always need to do all the work involved in planning to set goals.
Reason #3 I have been using Business Blitz for my own business for 3 years. I have introduced the process to my clients. It is a process that provides clarity and direction. It reduces the need for lots of discussion and endless meetings with staff every time a new opportunity pops up.
What exactly does Business Blitz include?
1. A Briefing Meeting At this meeting we will explain the questionnaires and how to complete them. This does not involve a lot of work. Most of the information will already be known to you and your staff. The completed questionnaires are circulated to staff attending the workshop. You will also be given your Business Blitz Manual.
2. Workshop (6 hours) This is where all the action happens. Using the questionnaires and the tools in the manual your facilitator will work with you and your team to develop the Blitz Action Plan during the workshop. This Action Plan will cover the major aspects of your business.
The facilitator will be a person with many years experience in running businesses - not a consultant who just talks about running a business. This facilitator will make an active and substantial contribution to the process and the content. You will get lots of suggestions and recommendations.
The facilitator will be a sounding board and provide you with a different perspective on direction and goals. The facilitator will not only guide you through the process but also provide valuable input based on many years experience.
3. Sign Off The facilitator will review the Blitz Action Plan, make suggestions for changes and sign off. Now you have you detailed Blitz Action plan that details what your company will do for the next 12 months, when goals need to be achieved and who is responsible for achieving those goals.
This whole process can be completed in just 10 hours spread over 2-3 weeks. What could be simpler? All of this may sound great… but… maybe you’re still wondering if Business Blitz is for you. So let me answer that question right now.
