Does your business need help in one of these areas?
A long term problem that resists attempts at identification or resolution, such as a department that consistently underperforms.
A sudden and hugely complex challenge; perhaps a merger with a business that has a substantially different culture.
An exciting opportunity that is outside your experience – you have just patented a novel and very different product or process.
Loss of direction, or “vision”.
External influences, such as new legislation. Employment law, Risk Assessment, Fire Safety, Environmental protection; all have placed huge demands on businesses recently.
Tackling issues as different as these makes demands upon the management that may well be outside their experience.
This explains why business advisers are consulted.
They use their knowledge and experience to help the decision makers move forward without the need to
learn everything the hard way.
Matching a business adviser to the issue is NOT about finding someone who knows your sector or territory. It is about taking input from someone who has met, struggled with and eventually resolved an issue like the one that faces you.
There are many types of business diagnostic process, and hundreds of carefully developed paper and software based tools to aid the process.
Sulis Consulting believes strongly that the best results come form engaging with a Business Adviser who has three specific attributes:
The relevant experience from which to draw analogies that will enable a plan of action to be produced.
The knowledge of the resources required and potential outcomes from any given recommendation.
The personal skill to engage with all the individuals involved, negotiate a common approach to a solution and the counselling skills to support each member of the team as they pursue their own objectives.
This third element of our approach, is completely integrated with the work that Sulis Consulting does concurrently with this business diagnostic activity, by working with the employees and leaders of the business to ensure that all those involved in delivering business improvement are “firing on all cylinders”
