Business Accelerator Workshops
The Need
ACI Small Business Accelerator
Workshops have been developed to assist small business owners with growing
their businesses in a sustainable way. Whilst many services designed to
assist small business owners exist, these are generally based on a premise
of replicating someone else's success, rather than building one's own
through innovation.
Innovation, NOT Replication
ACI Small Business Accelerator
Workshops uncover strengths, develop insights and turn them into innovative
strategies for sustainable business success.
Our unique Strength, Insight and Strategy
(SIS) reflective methodology helps small business owners:
- Understand and capitalize on their individual
strengths;
- Gain unique insights into business growth
from the reflections of other workshop participants and themselves;
- Develop winning strategies for sustainable
business growth; and
- Turn these strategies into action!
Workshop
participants build THEIR success through THEIR innovation,
not by replicating someone else's!
Time Is On Your Side
Time is a valuable commodity to
the small business owner and their team. The ACI Small Business Accelerator
Workshops have been designed to limit the time participants spend away
from the business, whilst maximizing the workshop time spent working ON
their business.
An initial one-day workshop is held at the
weekend to limit the interference to the business week. At this workshop
participants reflect on questions such as:
- Where do they want their business to
go?
- How much do they want the business to
grow?
- What personal behaviours will be needed
in order to get there?
- How will it feel as they grow?
- Who will they need to work with them
as they grow?
- What resources will they need to secure
as they go?
- How can they get the things they have
recognised they will need?
Participants in the initial one-day workshop
develop the answers to these questions into their business growth plan.
These plans are continually revised and developed as participants attend
monthly breakfast workshops.
ACI Small Business Accelerator Workshops
The Breakfast Workshops
are held once a month and allow participants to further develop their
growth through the application of ACI's SIS methodology.
On-going participation in these workshops
is not mandatory, but provides an affordable forum in which participants
can:
- Network with other owners of growing
businesses;
- Share their experiences and learn from
others;
- Have their innovations socially validated
by their peers;
- Source the resources required to instigate
their growth plans;
- Revue their actions and revise their
growth plans; and
- Innovate not replicate!
Who Should
Attend
- The workshops will benefit anyone who
owns/manages a small business that is:
- In the planning or 'start-up' phase;
- Experiencing internal or external difficulties
in growing their business;
- Looking to build on the successes achieved
already;
- The workshops would also suit groups
of franchise owners wishing to work together to develop a brighter future.
Disclaimer
Participants in ACI Small
Business Accelerator Workshops must be prepared to relinquish the title
Small Business Owner as participation in the workshops can seriously grow
your business!
