PROFIT IMPROVEMENT REVIEW

From our experience we believe that there are always opportunities to become more efficient, productive and profitable.  Bluewater Business Consulting LLC can help you to identify ways to reduce costs and to improve your bottom line profit. We conduct a review of your company; it's overheads, operating costs, revenue streams, working practices. We don't just look at the books, we take time to talk to you and key staff about how your business works and make sure we understand your company, your goals and parameters before producing a comprehensive report with recommendations for changes that will make a positive contribution to your companys' success.

Perhaps there is a better way to manage your resources? Or a new way of operating? Maybe you need to invest more to get a greater return? "Often a fresh pair of eyes can see what is staring us right in the face". At Bluewater Business Consulting we believe that "clear vision brings better solutions", so take a step back and be clear about where your focus should be

EXECUTIVE COACHING

Coaching and mentoring can come in handy when you're a new business owner or have recently been promoted to a more responsbile role; perhaps you are now having to manage people, or have been appointed to the Board? With greater responsibilty usually comes many more management and in particular, HR related issues. Maybe you have grown from a small friendly office into a much bigger organisation and now you need new rules to apply but are having trouble asserting your new management style or operating standards?

Handling so many different business situations does not come easily to all people - you gain skills with experience, from training, from making mistakes and from being coached or mentored by someone who can help you build those skills and improve your personal effectiveness. Whether it is a specific issue that you need help with or regular guidance sessions working through an agreed personal development plan, Bluewater Business Consulting LLC can help you to develop your own Management Toolkit to equip you for business life.

PERSONNEL SUPPORT & ADVICE

Want advice on how to handle a tricky employee situation? Is it time to have some employment policies in place? Need help recruiting the right people for the job? Many smaller companies do not have dedicated Human Resources professional on the payroll, but they still have HR issues to deal with, - and what happens as your company grows? As you expand you could benefit from having access to an Human Resources service, that can provide you with the tools, and the coaching, to deal with personnel related matters, without the expense of a permanent resource.

We can provide support and advice on Human Resources related issues such as Recruitment, Disciplinary Policy & Procedures, Staff Communications and Retention, HR Policy creation, Training & Development plans, Staff Handbooks, Succession Planning.

ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Has your company got the right organizational structure to allow for flexibility, growth, new product development, additional sales? We can help you to restructure and organise your current structure to make sure that your human capital management meets the future needs of your business.

Don't make the mistakes many business owners and company directors do - don't just throw in extra people resources as the solution to handling extra work -there may be a better way to handle extra work - how about developing your team to take on more responsibilities?; motivating your team to get more involved and committed to their job?; providing skills training for less experienced employees?

We can help you to design a flexible structure to enable you to motivate and maximize your employees performance and skills, that will help you to grow your business and retain your best resources in an environment that works for you and your people.

MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT TRAINING

As many companies grow, they expand and create new positions and titles. Often companies like to promote from within, which is a positive way of keeping hold of experienced and loyal staff (as long as you bring in some new blood once in a while too!). However, it is not an automatic right of passage that once you assume the title of "Manager" that you suddenly know how to manage projects and people. Our series of workshops help employees, (especially newly appointed managers), learn how to manage in a new position and about the skills that will help maintain and improve performance and win the respect of their team.

Talk to us about in-house training courses that can developed specifically for your team - which can even be run at your premises if you prefer, or public training courses that you can send members of your team along to.
