Business Success Programme is a uniquely tailored programme of support, designed to focus, scale and propel your existing business to new heights. Our team are highly experienced business coaches, motivated by action, not rhetoric.  We partner you, we support you, we measure progress and we grow both your team and your bottom line.

How do we do this?

We start with a confidential diagnostic of all aspects of your business.  This will provide you with exceptional insights. But we go beyond this: we are extremely curious about your business, your customers and your competitive advantage. Our understanding of your business will be tested by you, in the business improvement plan we present. You will find it is practical, bold, market focused, margin driven and, with support, entirely achievable. We work closely with your team to foster confidence, enhance competence, and drive business success.

We use a three phase approach to support you on the journey to becoming a high performing organisation:

Phase 1 – Business Diagnostic or 360

This involves a confidential root and branch review of the business through the experienced lens of our team who understand what good looks like. This identifies what is working well, but more importantly – the areas requiring attention to focus, scale and grow your business.

Phase 2 – Development of a Project plan

Our business improvement plan identifies what needs to be done, by whom and it outlines practical timelines and milestones. We don’t forget that you have the day job to do. Notwithstanding, we help create clarity on the non‑negotiables for growth, cost reduction, competitive edging and margin improvement. We will discuss this with you, get your thoughts and prepare the plan for delivery over a six‑to‑twelve‑month period. We remain with you, partner you, track progress, identify obstacles and, importantly, find solutions that deliver outcomes.

Phase 3 – Leadership & Management Programme

Business success is about building capability for sustainable growth and improvement. We work with your senior management team, on‑site, for a twelve‑month period. This growth journey builds capability, management competence, behaviours and mindsets. Blending individual learning and group sessions, we redefine the concept of team, align management thinking and provide practical ready‑to‑apply leadership and management tools that make a difference.

 

Who is this programme suitable for?  Regardless of their size, our clients share a hunger for growth and development.  They seek adept, discreet guidance from experienced business professionals to not only chart the course ahead but also collaborate in turning their visions into  reality.

We often hear from business leaders that “things are good in general, BUT….

  • We could be stronger in the marketplace
  • We don't have a clear succession plan
  • We are fire-fighting on a daily basis
  • We don't have a handle on our costs
  • We have great people, but there's no leadership
  • Our functional areas are operating in silos, there's no collaboration across the team
  • Everyone is stresssed
  • Senior managers are not taking accountibility
  • We don't have a clear staff development plan
  • Our meetings aren't as productive as they could be

If you can identify with 3 or more of the sentiments in the list above, then the Business Success Programme will be able to help you!

The Business Success Programme will help you to bring clarity on the purpose and direction of your business. We will help you to identify pain‑points and put in place a plan to address them. Your leadership and management team will receive training and coaching that will give them confidence to bring out the best in themselves and their teams.  At the end of the programme, you will have a solid foundation in place to allow you to grow to the next phase, whatever that looks like for your business.

Testimonial

Mike Irvine

Knowing that opportunities existed for alignment and integration across our business, we commissioned CCO to complete a rigorous business review. Philip and the team brought years of experience and an objectivity to a detailed business review. They demonstrated a clear understanding of our challenges, our marketplace and the complexities of managing a company wide growth strategy.

Their recommendations were practical, sensible and were presented with both cost and timeline considerations which they used to help us plan and navigate the journey forward. Their approach was one of partnership: they engaged directly with our leadership team to understand business and departmental challenges, the dynamics of being part of an expanding group and to keep them involved throughout.

I can happily and confidently recommend their professional approach and very evident experience.
