How do you make your family business last?

I am working with a number of family businesses at the moment. They are in varying conditions; from flying, struggling... and everything in between. There is one thing that all the families have in common... They all want the business to be a lasting business, a legacy if you will, either for future members or their extended family i.e. their employees, suppliers, clients etc.

All have either have, or are working towards, the one key thing that will help the longevity of their family business. In my own words; a family business plan. This is something all participants agreed to and signed up for, including clear direction on working towards a goal for both the business and its incumbents.

When everyone has a clear plan, things make more sense and can be tackled with excitement and enthusiasm. After all, that is exactly what our politicians are showing us at the moment isn't it? Oops sorry, wrong script!

Get a plan sorted, agree on it with everyone and then work towards the goal – if you haven’t got one maybe we need a chat – you know where I am!


Until the next time

Providing Clarity of Purpose to your business

09/04/2019 in Kidderminster with Steve Parker and Claire Lawton


Do you, your colleagues and your teams all really know why you are
doing what you do?

Are your teams all contributing to improving efficiencies and
profitability?

Do you dismiss other ideas unless they come from you?
If so, then this workshop is for you.


The workshop will demonstrate the different ways of recognising various systems in your
organisation, how they should fit your core purpose and how to ensure there is one that
fits 80% of actions, and allows flexibility for the 20% of curved balls.

We will challenge your thinking and show how a simple task can mean so many things to so
many people. We will give you a way of working with your colleagues and teams to
challenge their current thinking, to ensure you all have the same clarity of purpose.
Suddenly colleagues and team ideas will be more relevant and positively contribute to
profitability.

Investment is £5 and 1 hour of your time, with so much to gain. Proceeds go to
Edward's Trust and drinks and cake will be provided to help you along the way.
Join us on Tuesday 9 April, 3-4pm, Hogarths Stone Manor,
Kidderminster.

Bring peers, clients and colleagues, who will benefit from this easy
approach...

This workshop is driven by Steve Parker and Claire Lawton, their work covering HR, People
Management, Motivation, Strategic Growth and more is increasingly successful, both
locally, in the UK and internationally. They get into the hearts and minds of business
owners and their teams to maximise performance deliver the best.
