Want To Learn Strategies For Growth & Profitability?

Let me welcome you to the month of February, the second month of the year. Also, let me ask you – how has the year been so far? I hope we can all answer this question with some positive stories to tell? This is our desire and wish for you. The results we have had so far could be either as a result of the cycle of our business or the state of preparedness with which we commenced the year 2017. There is a popular saying ‘accelerate your business or be ready to die’. I remind myself and my clients about this because it’s so easy to lose sight of it. We have to continue to hone our skills, develop new ones and learn winning strategies to thrive in times of intense competition and economic hardship.
We started the CPPL Monthly Training Program 28 months ago because we saw an obvious gap in the capacity building and development for business owners and professionals. It’s one thing to know what we want to do and have a huge vision but unless we have the right structure behind it, that big dream will not be achieved.

One of the first things that businesses that want to accelerate and grow do is to develop their human capital. You need the right people who know what to do to accelerate your business. Times are changing and we have to adapt accordingly. The CPPL Monthly Training Program is a program that will equip your people with skills to win in the market place. 

We have had over 280 business owners and professionals attend the monthly training program and the feedback has been very impressive. This is why I will always recommend this program.
“The truth is that in this time of recession, businesses need to accelerate. That means, they must be on top of their game. They must think out of the box. They must be innovative. Where they do not have the resources and skills to do so, they need to look outwards and get help.  Your people must be at their best and your business must be run effectively and efficiently to survive these times. Yes, we must watch costs, however this is not the time to cut training, innovation or marketing budgets. These are the business lifelines” – Ikechukwu Kalu

Businesses suffer because their people make common avoidable mistakes. They suffer because they lack knowledge of basic business principles, and techniques. Staff lack initiative because they are ill equipped.  Cutting edge business best practices evolve with time and seasons. They must be learnt to enable businesses function effectively and profitably. These are some of the objectives we want to achieve with the Monthly Training Program.

What will set you apart in this trying times is your ability and capacity to be strategy driven, result-oriented and customer focused. These are the core skills we dwell on in this program. You cannot grow in business without understanding and meeting the needs of your customer. Even when you have a good product, you will require selling skills to make the exchange happy profitably. It still doesn’t end there. You have to know how to nurture and keep your existing customers while you acquire new ones. The way we go about these very important business functions determines the extent to which we are perceived by our customers to be relevant to them. It is important that we deliver value to our customers in a manner that is consistent and sustainable. To achieve this, a project management mind set is required. This is why we included this as the fourth module in the program.

Imagine how you feel when your customer tells you they need more time or more budget or more resources to complete an on-going assignment? What comes to your mind first? Definitely not positive. With a project management mindset you will deliver value consistently and in a manner that is sustainable. The CPPL Monthly Training Program will enable you develop the capacity you need to create value consistently. This is a sure way to accelerate your business.

Channel Management & Sustainable Business Growth

How important is channel management in today’s business? I had a rare opportunity of discussing channel management and its importance with some young, vibrant, high performing Nigerians recently. It was a two day program themed ‘Business Enhancement Program for Channel Managers’.  We had great fun honing our skills, discussing issues and learning new strategies. As you would have noticed, we believe in running programs as against courses. Programs enable us understand and thrash identified challenges with a function or field of study and come up with simple and workable solutions. Some of the topics deliberated on include; ·       Value creation leadership mind-set, Managing the channels for value, ·       Channel management performance models ·       Go-to-market strategies ·       Making the best of out the relationship with channels ·       Personal Effectiveness It was important that we started the program with a session on value creation leadership mi

Ethics, Protocols and Relationship Between Co-workers

Image
Recently, I was privileged to facilitate an interesting discussion on Ethics, Protocols and Relationship between Co-workers at a strategy session organised by one of my very esteemed clients. It was a great session, considering the positive feedback from a Net Promoter Score (NPS) survey done after the session. We started the discussion with a critical review of a popular quote ‘‘Organizations must accelerate, or they will die’’. It was a good ice breaker, as this got everyone thinking. We then looked at what drives an organisation forward and it became clear that not much can be achieved in an organisation without the members understanding and living out its core values and core purpose.  The Core values, represent ‘ The Truths’ -  what the organisation stands for while the ‘Core Purpose’ is really about what the organisation was created to accomplish. The two are very critical factors that usually remain unchanged over a period of time. That is why they must form the
