Make the most of your people; change from constant battle to a business building breakthrough!
More than 90% of New Zealand businesses employ fewer than 20 staff. Small- to medium-sized businesses are the very backbone of the New Zealand economy and the biggest employer in this country.
That is not surprising - New Zealanders are brimming with great business ideas and are not afraid to ‘give it a go’. We have a real entrepreneurial spirit and the energy to work at our goals. But even the best business venture can fail without robust planning and considered management. What many of us lack is the skill to complete this planning and management, which can mean the difference between success and failure.
What separates successful businesses from those that are less successful?
A wealth of research, including findings from an exhaustive study of over 3000 small- and medium-sized businesses in New Zealand, provides the answer. The key findings of the Firm Foundations study conducted by the New Zealand Ministry for Economic Development are:
- The importance of strategic planning for success. The long-held business truism that "failing to plan is planning to fail" is underlined by study results showing that 93% of leading businesses have formal planning processes. More than half of New Zealand small- and medium-sized businesses either had no plan or one that was hopelessly out of date.
- The ability to manage Human Resources. Your business is only as good as its people, and your people are only as good as your ability to lead them. Of those businesses surveyed, 65% have difficulty in leading their people to provide consistently excellent results.
Let us help you to make the most of your business and people; change from constant battle to a business-building breakthrough. Our solutions are practical, affordable and effective.
