Business Support Program
The Challenge of Leadership
It is widely acknowledged
that the role of owner or managing director of a small or
medium sized business can be a very lonely one. However well
you know your business, there are times when you wish you
had another experienced and independent businessperson with
whom to speak with, to provide that vital second opinion, or
to challenge your thinking.
Large companies usually
have a significant advantage over smaller businesses, as
they are able to afford a professional board of directors
with diverse skills and experience. The Owner or Managing
Director of a small to medium sized business typically has
no such luxury. Nor is it often a realistic option, as a
professional executive director can easily cost a business
$100,000 per annum in salary alone. Add other benefits such
as company car, pension, healthcare, and holidays, and you
are committing up to a $150k per annum cost.
The
Answer :
Our
Business Support Program,
supported by the Institute for Independent Business (IIB)
provides the answer, leveling the playing field with larger
businesses and giving you a significant advantage over other
SME's at a fraction of the cost.
Under the Business
Support Program, you will be appointed a business advisor
who will be available during normal business hours on the
phone to discuss any issues that you have in any area of
your business. In addition, your advisor will allocate a
number of days (typically 2 days per month) for practical
hands-on time with you and your company, supporting you and
helping you make things happen. He also has access to the
huge resources of over 3,500 qualified and experienced IIB
Accredited Executives, any of which can be called on to help
you with any specialized aspects of your business.
IIB accreditation is only
extended to senior business professionals who meet the
Institute's exacting standards: the Associate must have
appropriate professional qualifications as well as
substantial executive experience of running a company at the
director level. Additionally, all Associates must keep up to
date by participating in the Institute’s continuous
professional development program.
If your business
qualifies for the Business Support Program, we will act as
the program coordinator and your Lead Advisor. In that role
we support and assist you in business in every way possible,
and at the same time act as a business friend to you, the
Managing Director/Owner.
The
Lead Advisor:
Attends any, or all, of your Board and
Management Meetings that you wish, ensuring that the company
is adequately supported, focused, and progressing to plan.
Manages the use of consulting time and
hands-on practical assistance from any of e-Future
Consulting Groups associates.
Finds answers to any business queries you
have, accessing the extraordinary business resources of
e-Future Consulting Group and Associates.
Is available on a local "Hot Line"
number, Free of Charge, to talk through whatever is on your
mind or act as a sounding board for new ideas.
The Business Support Program is not at
all like traditional consulting. Its real strength lies in
the ability to establish an ongoing hands-on relationship
between the Lead Advisor and the client.
