CHALLENGES
If your business has one of the following challenges, we can help you:

Engaging your people

We have a proven track-record of delivering exceptional results in a wide range of organisations from entrepreneurial start-ups and early-stage, through to substantial, mature businesses.
Helping People Succeed keeps its overheads low so that we can deliver outstanding value for money.
Through a network of affiliated specialists, we can provide expertise in business leadership, finance, HR and people development, legal, and other disciplines as required, but we are equally happy to work with you and your own in-house talent or preferred suppliers, where they exist, to deliver the results you require.

APPROACH
Our approach is straightforward and practical
We start by a “Discovery Process” which involves interviewing you and other key stakeholders in your business to understand the problems, challenges and opportunities.
We then present our “Feedback” in the form of easy-to-digest “Findings” and “Recommended Actions”.
We then discuss these with you to develop an “Action Plan”, which you can implement on your own or retain us to deliver with you or on your behalf. The Action Plan is usually broken down into “Phases” to enable tracking of results.
We set “Measurement Criteria” to set targets for outcomes and assess these regularly to ensure that the client’s expectations are being met and to allow adjustments to the plan to be made.
Our input is not purely academic and we’re not afraid of putting in the hard work with you. We don’t “clock watch” and we are always available to help when you need us - we know that business isn’t a nine-to-five activity.
Our fees can be set on a day rate, fixed project rate, and/or determined by a successful outcome where we share both the risk and reward with you. This is particularly relevant where we help you to sell your business and we will work with you on the basis of a retainer fee, plus a success fee for hitting a target consideration.
