Email from Dmitri Gasanov, co-founder of Stratus Group, a leading ERP consulting firm in Australia, following the completion on training for the leaders and managers of Stratus Group on Feedback, Coaching, Delegation and One-on-Ones:
"I’d like to take a moment to thank you on behalf of all team members that attended the sessions over the last 5 weeks for putting together the content and presenting it. It was very informative and will go a long way towards the professional development of our management team as well as their “directs”.We look forward towards implementing the methodology within the Stratus Group and working with you in the future."
Businesses have complex problems with which advisory boards can help:
Emerging business - assessing market opportunities / business model selection / obtaining market introductions / becoming investor ready / requiring leadership development or developing management disciplines
Growing business - managing development / designing growth strategies / becoming export ready / becoming investor ready / building your governance and quality
Changing business - capability development / distribution & diversification / tech & digtial strategies / succession planning
Exiting - succession planning / return on investment / exit preparation
Stepping Up - Invest to grow / increase revenue / reduce short term profit or personal return
Stepping Back - Maintain revenue "business as usual" / increase profit / extract value without additional investment / business succession internally
Stepping Out - Consolidate reducing revenue, reduce expenses, increases profit or get ready for exit
Advisory boards can be implemented in many different forms, are flexible in nature and can evolve with the organisation. The best practice approach we provide ensures the advisory board is fit for purpose to the needs, culture and growth stage of the organisation. This also ensures quality of outcomes, consistency and good governance from the advisory board function.
