Helping CEOs of Engineering SMEs to introduce the changes required to grow their business to the next level  

You started a successful business 

You have been running your company successfully for several years, dealing with all aspects of your business yourself, sometimes in areas outside your comfort zone.

 

Your business is now “at capacity”: you are working hard and very long hours, you rely on a few key individuals running manual systems and your business can just about cope with a high but fluctuating workload.

Challenge to grow your business further 

You can see opportunities to grow your business to the next level but a multitude of issues must be addressed to make this happen, such as for example:

  • Which direction to expand into (markets, projects, products)?
  • How to market the new offering to find customers?
  • How to acquire the new skills and expertise required?
  • What additional resources will be required (people, facilities, tools and equipment)?
  • What internal systems and procedures will have to be introduced or streamlined to support the significant growth of the business?
  • How to finance the growth of the business?

Frequently asked questions 

You may have asked yourself these questions 
  • How to make sure the proposed expansion is in-line with the company’s “why” to avoid wasting time and resources?
  • Are the cost estimates and projected additional revenue realistic to ensure financial predictions are achievable?
  • When bringing in new senior people, how to avoid destabilising the organisation and ensure the investment brings a return?
  • How to introduce robust internal systems without affecting the agility of the business?
  • Does the business have sufficient funds to finance the proposed growth (staff, premises, equipment, marketing, R&D)?

How I can help you 

Totally focused on listening to you and on helping you in a confidential and secure environment, I will draw on my 30+ years of senior management experience in industry to understand your business issues. 

I will support you to:

  • Discover, clarify and prioritize issues
  • Identify the options
  • Select the best solutions for you
  • Implement actions
  • Unlock perceived blockages.

To be clear, I am not here to tell you what to do or to give you ready-made universal recipes.

 

Instead I will enable you to come up with the solutions best suited to the specific issues and challenges of your business.

 

This is because you know your business better than anyone and your achievements demonstrate your ability to identify and implement solutions to achieve your goals. 

How we work together

Following an initial discovery call, I will prepare a document detailing how I propose to work together.

 

This will be in the form of a series of one-to-one coaching/mentoring sessions: 

  • Each session will last between one and two hours.
  • The number of sessions will vary initially between 3 and 10.
  • The sessions will be scheduled to suit you and allow you time for actions.
  • Each session will be focused on what helps you most at that point.
  • The structure of each session and the coaching tools used will be adapted to the issues you wish to deal with.
