Case Studies
2005 Program
The Business – A service-based business’ sole operator wanted to expand and didn’t know how to do it. After 12 years in the industry, they were known as the best in the region.
The Results – The business has expanded and has hired 3 more people, changed its name to something more relevant and is growing steadily to plan.
2006 Program
The Business – A finance company wanted to increase their profitability and maximise their staff and use of resources.
The Result – The plan enabled them to work out the basic daily and weekly targets that were required to grow the business. The business also put a management feedback system in place and also wrote job descriptions for all of the team.
2007 Program
The Business – A tourism business had husband and wife and parents involved in the business. Sales were OK, and the parents didn’t want to spend money on sales, marketing or property upgrade.
The Result – The parents were out of the business within 4 months. New marketing collateral is brilliant, the business has expanded with improved facilities and the husband and wife team are happier.
