Small Biz Matters – a half hour program each week where you can work ON your business rather than IN it.
with Alexi Boyd from Boyd Office Management Services
Date: 11 June 2019
Flexible, adaptable and nimble: the strengths of small business and something in which we take pride in. We also know that evolving along with software is a better and more efficient way to work. So why do we fear change and the implementation in our business? Are we avoiding putting off our clients with a new process? Is it our employees who are nervous of change or is it just us… who’s stuck in our own self-made rut, avoiding change because of the fear of something new?
Change management in the corporate world is handled by entire consulting firms like KPMG or Deloitte. It’s hard enough in small business to keep on top of existing processes and procedures let alone creating what we could potentially be unnecessary change for ourselves, our clients and our staff. But we are constantly bombarded with the latest apps, latest best practices and ever-evolving compliance changes from one govt organisation or another which means we need to adapt and change.
Good news, there is help at hand. Donnie Buchanan is an expert in his field who supports small and medium sized businesses to navigate this change and support them through the process. After working at Xero to implement complex and compliant heavy software into large accounting firms he knows the most practical way to break down the steps of change management and avoid putting all your stakeholders offside.
Welcome to the show Donnie.
