BUSINESS URGED TO PREPARE FOR A PERIOD OF GROWTH
The UK’s most experienced business coaches advise businesses that they must take steps now to maximise the economic recovery predicted post-pandemic.
Fergus King (pictured above), Partner of Shirlaws Group, is the keynote speaker at the first two of a brand new series of four Dundee and Angus College events hosted by the Business Partnerships Team.
The events aim to inspire and motivate business owners and leaders to take action as they embark on a new year, ensuring they are future-proof and ready to grasp new opportunities.
Addressing delegates online on 25 January and 22 February 2022, Mr King will highlight the importance of them working ‘on’ rather than ‘in’ their business, allowing them to keep an open mind and maximise opportunities on the horizon.
He will also explore the barriers to moving forwards and outline the steps they could take to progress, whether revenue or infrastructure-related, or cultural and behavioural change.
Mr King said, “Over the last couple of years, understandably many business owners have been stuck in their businesses, focusing on the day-to-day and survival, while others have been able to thrive.
No-one is disputing that businesses have had an extremely challenging couple of years, and there is understandably some hesitancy and caution as we embark on this New Year.
However, economic cycles traditionally dictate that, after any slump, whether it’s down to a drop in oil price, financial crash, a dot com crash or a pandemic, a period of growth follows. Energy may be down amongst some business leaders, but we’re rolling into a period of growth. Businesses need to ask themselves what they are doing now to prepare and maximise the opportunities.”
