THRIVE Business Advisory

Bespoke support for the business issues that need attention now.

Not every business needs to work through the full THRIVE programme pathway.

Sometimes you already know where you need help.

THRIVE Business Advisory gives you practical one-to-one support around a particular issue, decision, project or business improvement need.

The work is tailored to your business, your priorities and the level of support you need.

When is Business Advisory the right fit?

THRIVE Business Advisory may suit you if:

  • you already know where the main issue is

  • you are facing an important business decision

  • you need help with a specific project or change

  • growth is creating pressure

  • systems, structure or accountability need attention

  • you want an experienced outside view

  • you want practical one-to-one support

The work is shaped around the issue, priorities and level of support your business needs.

Business Advisory can cover a wide range of practical business issues, including:

  • systems and process improvement

  • business structure

  • roles and responsibilities

  • accountability

  • operational improvement

  • pricing, margins and financial performance

  • capacity and workflow

  • growth decisions

  • restructuring and change

  • planning and priorities

  • performance measures and KPIs

  • financial clarity

  • major projects and implementation

  • reducing dependence on the owner

  • management and leadership issues

Sometimes one issue leads us into another. That is fine.

The aim is to focus on the issue that matters most and work through what needs to change to improve the business.

What can we work on?

Practical support, not just advice

Depending on what you need, I can help you:

  • understand the issue properly

  • work through the options

  • make decisions

  • build a practical plan

  • clarify responsibilities

  • put improvements in place

  • review progress

  • keep the work moving

The level of support is tailored to what the business needs and can change as the work develops.

How is Business Advisory different from the THRIVE programmes?

The THRIVE Business Programme and THRIVE — One-to-One take you through the full THRIVE Business Improvement Approach.

THRIVE Business Advisory is different.

It is focused on a specific issue, project or improvement need.

You do not need to complete the Business Programme or One-to-One before using Business Advisory.

It can also be used by businesses that have completed THRIVE and want flexible support as new issues, decisions or projects arise.

How is the work structured?

Business Advisory is flexible.

Depending on the work involved, it may be:

  • a one-off advisory session

  • a short piece of project work

  • a series of meetings over several weeks or months

  • ongoing one-to-one advisory support

Before we start, we will agree what you need help with and the best way to approach it.

For larger pieces of work, I will set out the proposed scope so you have clarity around what is involved, the expected level of support and the next steps.

If you already know where your business needs help and want practical, experienced support to work through it, THRIVE Business Advisory may be the right place to start.

Book a complimentary 30-minute conversation and we can discuss what is happening, what you need help with and what level of support is likely to be most useful.

Is THRIVE Business Advisory right for you?

Fees

THRIVE Business Advisory is bespoke, so the cost depends on the type and level of support required.

Before we start, we will agree the scope of the work and how the advisory support will be structured.

For larger projects or ongoing work, I will set out the proposed scope, expected commitment and fees so everything is clear before we begin.
