The art of being small and succeeding big.
Small business leaders face greater challenges than ever before. Competition is fierce, resources are stretched and every day presents a new emergency. The Vistage Small Business Programme provides a forum for you to rise above the urgent to focus on what’s truly critical: the strategic decisions that will move your businesses forward. The programme includes:
- One full-day and two half-day problem solving meetings per quarter with up to 16 chief executives or managing directors, professionally facilitated by a Vistage Group Chairman
- Up to four workshops per year led by a Vistage expert speaker
- Monthly two-hour personal coaching and mentoring sessions with a seasoned business advisor (the Vistage Group Chairman)
- The Vistage Gateway to global content and members:
- Online best practices library
- Regional, national and international member conferences
- Access to a global network of more than 12,000 leaders
The Vistage Small Business Programme offers these benefits:
increased agility
Small companies today must be nimble enough to react to change and strategic enough to outpace it. The Small Business Programme provides you with the vital perspective you need to make the right moves to compete today and outperform tomorrow.
enhanced decision making
Vistage offers the most effective sounding board for your toughest decisions - fellow chief executives and managing directors who have met and overcome the same challenges you're facing. It's like getting the "trial" without the "error," and it will help you to make better decisions when the stakes are the highest.
fresh ideas
Innovative thinking is the lifeblood of any organisation. The Small Business Programme will inspire your best thinking, challenge your assumptions and provide the tools and accountability you need to turn your ideas into action.
increased focus
The Small Business Programme helps you spend less time putting out fires and more time building for the future - the real work of a leader. You'll gain increased clarity of purpose and the peace of mind of knowing the company is positioned for continued success.
improved performance
In the end, the Small Business Programme is about improving your performance so your company can perform better. It's about continuous, accelerated, practical learning - more valuable than any one-off workshop, more practical than any fashionable business book - and about turning your good intentions into great results.
