Having a clear plan and sense of direction for your start-up or SME is key to growing your enterprise in 2012, according to Olwen Dawe, owner of Irish Business Intelligence; “unfortunately, not every business has a clear sense of their objectives, strategy and execution plan, and moreover, how they collectively and individually contribute to the success of the business. These things really dictate how successful or not, as the case may be, your business will be.”
In Olwen’s experience, many businesses suffer as a result of management ‘blinkers’ to planning, often caused by over-enthusiasm [and a lack of realism] when starting up and growing their micro-enterprise or SME. Working with SMEs directly and through the Western regions’ support agencies, the planning ‘issue’ is one which comes up all too often, according to Olwen.
Little frightened
“I think sometimes entrepreneurs are a little frightened by the idea of it, or feel it thwarts the creative process of starting a business – in fact, it’s quite the opposite – it gives you the best possible chance of success, and helps you test all the angles of your idea or concept. For entrepreneurs growing their enterprise, it will help to guide and direct the trajectory of the business”.
With all this in mind, and in a bid to support those business owners seeking direction or support with their business goals – Olwen is offering, for the months of February and March [subject to availability] – a “Reboot” session, and report, for €250.
The “Reboot” session, an interactive consulting meeting, is guaranteed to provide business owners with expert insight and guidance, as well as follow-up areas to address in the report.
If you would like more information from Olwen on obtaining a Reboot session, or would like to know more about the SME and small business supports she offers, contact her on 087 7997772 or via email at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
