Is your SME moving in the right direction? The impact of each problem worsens over time, so the longer you wait, the more effort it will take to turn things around. Two examples: 1. A sister and brother had just taken over the family business, but the question of their ability and legitimacy (internal and external) soon arose. My intervention enabled them to set up processes (organization, management and production), and thereby secure their ability to manage the business. Several years later, the company is doing well, despite the COVID period and other upheavals in their markets. 2. Here, the manager took over the family business shortly before the COVID period, without any real (in)training. Three years later, after a number of incidents (including COVID and supplier problems), he found himself in a judicial reorganization procedure. We've (re)structured the business, put in place methods and set priorities, and he's bravely climbing back up the slope, but the way out is now very narrow and arduous. A surprising point? These two companies have exactly the same business. Here are a few points of concern that come up regularly with my customers: - How to maintain profitability in a tight market? - How to ensure the generational renewal of key employees? - How do you go about passing on the family baton while minimizing the risks involved? - What actions should we take, right now, to get back on the road to profitability? If these topics (or others) worry you too, contact me to discuss them. My services : 1. a structured strategic diagnosis of your SME (with a list of actions to be taken) 2. a simple, practical method for capturing margin dynamics and maximizing profits (also remotely) 3. customized support to help you regain or maintain profitability. And don't wait until it's (almost) too late. There are (often) simple, proven solutions that can be put in place quickly. I work mainly in French-speaking Belgium and the northern half of France. In 95% of my assignments, my customers have between 20 and 80 employees.
