Session 1: Growing a Business for Profits
Sometimes you can loose sight of why a business was started in the first place. Perhaps the initial excitement was disappeared only to leave you feeling overstressed and underpaid.
If you feel that way or just want to learn new ideas to grow and improve a business and boost profits, here is the seminar to start you on the road to taking back control of the business and building value.
We will discuss all the interrelated areas of business and focus on the building blocks of business and how to increase revenues and profits.
We will show you simple yet effective techniques to help you achieve your key business goals.

4. Develop new strategies to meet business goals.

Session 2: Who is on your bus and is it travelling in the right direction?
According to Jim Collins in his 'Good to Great' book, one of the principles of a 'great' company is First Who. Then What.
Collins says, "People are not your most important asset. The right people are." He uses the analogy of a bus driver to while describing how to create a winning team within your organization. He recommends that you first get the right people on the bus, and then you get the wrong people off the bus, then the right people in the right seats, and then figure out where you want to drive that bus. Hire people with characteristics you cannot easily instill. Focus on whom you are paying, not how. He also recommends analyzing someone's character, work ethic, intelligence, and dedication to their values before deeply analyzing credentials and practical skills.
It's never been more important than now in ensuring that you recruit and engage with the right people to stand any chance of your business achieving its plans, strategy, and greatness… whatever you want to call it. As a growing and developing business, good people will provide the catalyst to help you on that journey. Ask yourself, would a future investor or buyer of your business, consider that you have 'the right people on your bus'.
We all know that getting the wrong people off the bus costs time and money.
Top tip is to get it right at the outset.
The session presented by Lisa Gibson, Triple Three Solutions Ltd, will provide you with insight and top tips on how to recruit effectively for the right people, highlighting how costly it can be if you get recruitment wrong.
