Founders with a great product often can’t find the right people and the right process to create a great business.
We bring strategy, capability and investment to re-imagine these businesses, targeting private equity or trade exit within 3-5 years.
Start.
We begin with an Entrepreneurial Audit.
A safe and non-judgemental environment to gain insight and learning from a panel of seasoned entrepreneurs.
In this week's #founderhacks we look at Turnaround.
Can you develop the discipline to focus on controlling the controllable when you are turning things around? Removing those emotions and frustrations, rage, or anger that can paralyse us might prompt us not to fight back but to fight forward.
In this week's #founderhacks we look at Reaping what you sow.
Do you keep your reputational bank account a healthy balance? You never know when you may find yourself making a withdrawal when you need it the most. Do you appreciate messages of support? Are you someone ready to send a message of support when a friend or a colleague needs it. Could you build it into the culture of your business so your whole team can learn to show gratitude and help everyone to feel part of your mission.
In this week's #founderhacks we look at Engineering.
When do you need to step in and engineer a new approach? How do we engineer a deal? Finding a way to shine a light with little and often and create a new rhythm can throw challenges into a whole new relief.
In this week's #founderhacks we look at Legacy.
What is the legacy you want to leave? Your role is to find yourself better at everything. Can you replace yourself? Are you a founder with a shelf life? Overcoming the the 10 year mark seems to be a curious challenge for many entrepreneurs. Do you take the time to reflect and make sure you do make the right choice to step away from your business and move onwards?
In this week's #founderhacks we look at Time and a Place.
What does it take for a business to endure? Does place affect your brain? Is different thinking always something of inherent value. Could you leverage place to break your patterns and generate newness and energy and discover what that could offer you?
In this week's #founderhacks we look at Getting it wrong.
Who is your tribe to test where you are? A trusted inner circle perhaps who you trust to believe in you, but also to be honest with you and keep you grounded. Being open to challenge may perhaps also help you have the best chance of not getting it wrong and surrounding yourself with people who look and think like you and only want to agree with you might not always be the best choice.
In this week's #founderhacks we look at Bide your time or Blow up the room.
Do you force a resolution or wait for things to naturally come to a head? AI will transform our working lives and our societies within our lifetime so how do we engage with these technologies, these huge paradigm shifts?
In this week's #founderhacks we look at Interpersonal.
Do you listen with your eyes? Do your team look and feel ready to win? How can you play your part in making sure that they are? Do you speak emotion? Can you use a textured understanding of emotion to gather more data and make better decisions?
In this week's #founderhacks we look at Feedback Revisited.
What do you want? Do you know? Is it critical for you as a founder of a business to be clear about what you want in terms of the relationship with your business and your expectations of those within it? Can you make a commitment to learn how to give feedback brilliantly well?
In this week's #founderhacks we talk about Coping with the Imperfect.
Can you dispel the myth of the perfect employee? How do you manage your natural instinct to make the fundamental attributional error? Can we assess our staff as we do ourselves?
