Take the next step with our business transformation specialists
If you know you need to change your business for the better, it’s probably time to find a business transformation specialist. Business transformation specialists like Get Ahead can help you identify what changes you need to make and help you put the right processes in place to achieve your goals.
In this blog, we talk to Natasha, one of our busy regional directors, about business transformation and the support you need when you’re driving change forward.
What is business transformation?
Natasha: Business transformation is a very broad term that refers to almost any kind of business change. It might be strategic, operational or to do with expansion. You might change direction and break into a new market, or change culture to attract a more specific type of client. All of these are ways of transforming your business for the better.
What can a business transformation specialist do?
Natasha: A business transformation specialist can help you in a variety of ways. Perhaps you’re aware that you need to make a change but you don’t know what that change might look like. Or perhaps you know exactly what you need to do but don’t know quite how to do it.
The first way a business transformation specialist can help is by working with you to identify the change you need to make, and how to make it.
A transformation specialist can also help you access to right support during a time of change.
What does a business need during the transformation process?
Natasha: I’ve noticed that, when a business is taking a new direction, they need expert input, flexibility, and an insight into best practice.
- Expert input
I love helping business owners unpick their strengths and weaknesses to identify what needs to change – it’s the first step on the journey. Get Ahead also has a network of business coaches who can support you with goal setting. With the strategic overview in place, the next step is to decide how to put it into practice. Expert input can help you pin down where your transformation budget would be best spent, ensuring the best return on investment.
- Flexibility
If you haven’t done something before, you might not know how much of it you need, what level you need it on or how much it will cost. That’s why it’s important to find a flexible solution that enables you to experiment. Once the experiment is over, you might choose to continue with flexible working, or recruit a permanent team member to take the new process forward. It’ll even give you the option to put it down to experience and try something else.
- Best practice
When you’re transforming your business, you might not know how much better it could be. So when you’re choosing business transformation support, look for a solution that will show you what best practice looks like. It’s easy to reject an idea because you don’t know how to deliver it well. But when you bring in someone who is already an expert in that area, they’ll provide high quality work that will help you evaluate whether the idea is worth pursuing. Get Ahead’s team of virtual experts provide outstanding support in a variety of areas, including business administration, finance, HR, marketing and social media.
