Independent Advisor
Business is hard. To get things done takes real courage in the face of all the obstacles. You don't have to face them alone.
You have to make important decisions and help others to make decisions as well. This is a critical point in time where the course of future events is set in motion. You need to ask the question: is this a good decision? The challenge is who do you ask for an unbiased answer?
Once a business changing decision has been made, you have to tell a good story. Put your words to work, make the numbers add up, as well as inspire support and commitment. In sports, every team that is serious about getting the best result has a trainer as well as a captain. The same can be said for business. Who is the trainer for you and your team?

Change Agent
"Some people change when they see the light, others when they feel the heat".The reality of this quote is that those who neither see the light nor feel the heat are usually unwilling to change at all.
The other reality is that important changes are always disruptive, even painful. Within a business the gain from change is rarely enjoyed by those who experience the most discomfort. Change can come with a terrible cost that didn't appear on any spreadsheet.
Successful change management requires a specialised set of skills. Good project management and communication skills are pre-requisite. However it is the ability to inspire and resolve issues that determines if people will be fighting for the change, or against it.
If you are looking for someone who can make a real difference, or absorb the heat from making painful changes, or get things back on track, please contact Roger Ford on the numbers or email below. You can also find out more about Roger and the work Innovise does by visiting the About Us page.
Business Development
"Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work." Thomas Edison.
Business Development is more than selling. Selling is taking opportunities and turning them into orders. Business Development is taking opportunities and turning them into a business. A new market, a new channel, repackaging or repurposing products & services.
When business development is done well, the results can be spectacular. New customers have realistic value expectations, business partners are motivated to grow new business together, and sales cycles are clear from qualification to closure. Also a healthy, timely profit is made.
When business development is done well, the costs and risks are minimised. Internal disruption is kept to a minimum, promotions are highly effective, and capital investment is well managed. Also a healthy, timely profit is made.
If you are looking for someone who is prepared to put on the overalls and do the hard work of turning opportunities into real business, please call or email Roger on the number or email below. You can also find out more about Roger and the work Innovise does by visiting the About Us page.
