Building your Engine for Success
Positive mindset – drivers not challenges
Prioritise your business drivers in terms of:
• Importance for growth
• Current efficiency
• How well are you managing them?
Develop practical and pragmatic quarterly plans for addressing them:
• Stretching but not out of reach
• Single owner for each activity stream
• Clear Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
Review plans monthly
• Celebrate successes!
Good morningI’m Richard Houghton. After 25 years working in and running PR consultancies of all sizes and stints as PRCA I am now working with a niche management consultancy – Agency People. We work with agencies and in-house teams to help them meet their organizational, team and business goals. As you may have guessed by the name we do believe that people are at the heart of that success.For those of you who were expecting the tall, charming and silky voiced Professor Trevor Morris I can only apologize - you’ve got me. My only comparative benefit is that I am a couple of years younger! Start by congratulating all of you who have been shortlisted and very best of luck for this afternoon.
