business development

 

As entrepreneur or business leader you want to be sure that your new business development efforts are more than an opportunistic sales. But you don't want your marketing team neither to spend too much time strategising  about new markets without 'proofing the case'.

 

In order to kick-start the development of business in new market segments or geographies BusinessMinds only spends the minimum needed time to develop strategies but instead quickly focusses on developing the market access 'in the field'. You will get a holistic picture of the market, its potential, its key players and the route-to-market. But even more so - depending on the readiness of your value proposition - you will be having access to concrete business opportunities. 

 

At the end of the interim assignment with BusinessMinds and with the initially generated revenue, you will be able to decide how you want to move forward in this new market or geography: Reconsider the market-entry, hire new employees or re-allocate internal resources to make the step-change.

project management

 

As engaged leader you have also always multitude of projects in mind. You have access to a good team of experts who you need to be part of these projects but who you also don't want to get distracted from their jobs by managing the project members, timelines and negotiating with the project  stakeholders or project sponsors.   

 

With the support of BusinessMinds you can get the most out of your experts' time spent on your critical projects. They will only be involved when their experience matters for the subject at hand but they won't spend time to administrate the project. Business Minds helps you with a proper project scoping and set-up in the beginning of the engagement. Throughout the project work, BusinessMinds manages timelines and deliverables and ensures continuous alignment across the project team and sponsors.

 

At the end of the project management support, Business Minds ensures a smooth transition to your teams.

 

 

transition & manager coaching

 

As manager you change jobs on average every five years (for you, reading this, you very likely tell yourself 'every two to three years'). You want these job transitions to be quick and efficient paving the way for business and personal success. But you are also very well aware of being highly exposed. You need to avoid missteps during this phase whilst you are feeling pressured to take decisions and leave a footprint early-on.

Business Minds will be supporting the emotional challenge of a transition to ensure that you, or your managers, stay effective during this critical phase. Your Coach will be your trusted sparing during the first 90 days.
