On this week's episode of ScaleUp Radio we have another valuable presentation, centred around Critical Numbers.   When we say Critical Numbers, we're not just referring to the financial side of the business, critical numbers are used throughout the framework of your company; from accountability through to rhythms.   With this presentation we're going to explain just what Critical Numbers are; the importance of them to the scale up journey of your business, the common mistake most people make - and what the effect of ignoring them, or neglecting them, could mean.   We'll also help you define your own Critical Numbers, giving you advice about fitting them into your Business Rhythms.   As with all of the ScaleUp Radio presentations, I refer to tools and techniques. If you'd like a copy of them, there is a link in the show notes.   Following the presentation, there is also a panel discussion of business owners talking about Critical Numbers, and the challenges they've faced using them within their business - and how they dealt with those challenges.   You might think that this is a little dry as a subject - but Critical Numbers are important when it comes to your scale up journey.     Granger Forson from BizSmart linkedin.com/in/granger-forson-business-scale-joy-lean-coach   Luke Townsend linkedin.com/in/luke-townsend-5483461b9   Louise Blunt of BizSmart linkedin.com/in/louise-blunt-5a279714   Claire Hill from Hill HR Consultancy  linkedin.com/in/clairehillhr   Steve Bradstock linkedin.com/in/stephen-bradstock-1bbb1812   Peter Chatterley from The Talent Hackers linkedin.com/in/thetalenthackers     Stuart Avis of Audacious Creative linkedin.com/in/stu-avis     Amy Dyble at ME Financial Services linkedin.com/in/amydyble   Ben Murcott from Murcott Energy linkedin.com/in/ben-murcott-ceng-993a5258   Faith Guest from Tools of the Trade linkedin.com/in/faith-guest-407a428   Beth Newton from The Development Manager linkedin.com/in/beth-newton-951017137   Bryony Barber from Rippl linkedin.com/in/bryony-barber-a3794056   Caroline Meredith from Platform81 linkedin.com/in/caroline-meredith-6736081b2   Charlotte Albutt from Fews Marquees linkedin.com/in/charlotte-albutt-13099a232   Claire Hill from Hill HR linkedin.com/in/clairehillhr   Claire Bennett from Hornbeam Workplace Wellbeing linkedin.com/in/claire-m-bennett   Emma Canning from Cannins Exterior Cleaning linkedin.com/in/emma-canning-055655143   Gary Mawhinney linkedin.com/in/gary-mawhinney-74569524   Helen Groves from Food Safety Logic linkedin.com/in/helen-groves464   John Heseltine from Odious Consulting linkedin.com/in/johnheseltine   Jonathan Boxall-Southall from Harlequins Costumes linkedin.com/in/jonathan-boxall-southall-64340b245   Matt Busby of The Name Label Company linkedin.com/in/matt-busby-79594b5   Miguel de Sousa from Big Cause linkedin.com/in/miguel-de-sousa-tutoring-with-heart   Neil Hastings from Hasti-Brokers linkedin.com/in/neil-hastings-b8861795   Nick Wroe from Platform 81 linkedin.com/in/nick-wroe-149527b   Noel Kessell from WPA Healthcare Practice linkedin.com/in/noel-kessell-cert-cii-a2b9121   Ray Bower from Adder Bookkeeping linkedin.com/in/ray-bower-5b738218   Rhian Jones from Seasonal Soul Home linkedin.com/in/rhianyddjones   Robert Gibson from Vanguard Sustainable Transport Solutions linkedin.com/in/robert-gibson-miet-29541253   Samantha Wills from Denvic linkedin.com/in/samantha-wills-298b9022   Simon Baldwin from High House Wealth Management linkedin.com/in/simondbaldwin   Steve Harris from Central Finance linkedin.com/in/steve-harris-36b6731a   Sukhraj Gill from JDP Procurement linkedin.com/in/sukhraj-gill-09430519   Sukjeet Kaur Watts from Roshni linkedin.com/in/sukjeet-kaur-watts-3562572b   Scaling up your business isn't easy, and can be a little daunting.

On this week's episode of ScaleUp we have a business presentation for you, all around the theme of Empowerment.   When we talk about Empowerment we're referring to the team within your business; giving them accountability and responsibility for the work that they do.   For some business owners Empowerment is a difficult area to work through, because it's all about giving up some control - without feeling that you're out of control. We also describe it as going from a Leader - Follower model to a Leader - Manager, Leader - Leader model.   As always with these presentations on ScaleUp Radio, there is a lot of advice and practical help that you can put into practice straight away.   Plenty of subjects covered, including:    - How, and where, empowerment needs to begin within your business; and why trust is a major part of the process  - Why empowerment isn't just handing over the business - and how you go about creating a framework for empowerment  - How a system of Empowerment needs another presentation we've done on Business Rhythms to be in place to get the most out of it.    You'll also hear from other business owners who will discuss their own approaches to Empowerment - and the challenges they've faced when implementing it.   I also mention some tools and images within this presentation, and if you would like a copy of them there is an email address in the show notes.         Turn The Ship Around!

On this week's episode we have a brand new presentation centred around being SMART.   SMART is an acronym that we use within BizSmart, which stands for Specific, Measurable, Accountable, Realistic and Timebound and is a process by which you set goals and objectives for you, your team and your business.   In this presentation, we explain just what each of the letters stand for and mean. We also look at the benefits of implementing the SMART System in your business; as well as the best way to creating a SMART System plan as part of your scale up journey.   As always, you'll hear me refer to tools that can help you with the SMART System, and you can get copies of those tools by emailing admin@biz-smart.co.uk     As well as the presentation, there is also a panel discussion with a range of business owners discussing the place that the SMART System has within their company, and the challenges they've found in implementing.   This is an incredibly practical presentation with plenty that you can put into action straight away.   Louise Blunt of BizSmart linkedin.com/in/louise-blunt-5a279714   Stuart Avis of Audacious Creative linkedin.com/in/stu-avis   Amy Dyble at ME Financial Services linkedin.com/in/amydyble   Ben Murcott from Murcott Energy linkedin.com/in/ben-murcott-ceng-993a5258   Beth Newton from The Development Manager linkedin.com/in/beth-newton-951017137   Bryony Barber from Rippl linkedin.com/in/bryony-barber-a3794056   Caroline Meredith from Platform81 linkedin.com/in/caroline-meredith-6736081b2   Charlotte Albutt from Fews Marquees linkedin.com/in/charlotte-albutt-13099a232   Claire Hill from Hill HR linkedin.com/in/clairehillhr   Claire Bennett from Hornbeam Workplace Wellbeing linkedin.com/in/claire-m-bennett   Emma Canning from Cannins Exterior Cleaning linkedin.com/in/emma-canning-055655143   Helen Groves from Food Safety Logic linkedin.com/in/helen-groves464   John Heseltine from Odious Consulting linkedin.com/in/johnheseltine     Jonathan Boxall-Southall from Harlequins Costumes linkedin.com/in/jonathan-boxall-southall-64340b245   Matt Busby of The Name Label Company linkedin.com/in/matt-busby-79594b5   Miguel de Sousa from Big Cause linkedin.com/in/miguel-de-sousa-tutoring-with-heart   Neil Hastings from Hasti-Brokers linkedin.com/in/neil-hastings-b8861795   Nick Wroe from Platform 81 linkedin.com/in/nick-wroe-149527b   Noel Kessell from WPA Healthcare Practice linkedin.com/in/noel-kessell-cert-cii-a2b9121   Ray Bower from Adder Bookkeeping linkedin.com/in/ray-bower-5b738218   Rhian Jones from Seasonal Soul Home linkedin.com/in/rhianyddjones   Robert Gibson from Vanguard Sustainable Transport Solutions linkedin.com/in/robert-gibson-miet-29541253   Samantha Wills from Denvic linkedin.com/in/samantha-wills-298b9022   Simon Baldwin from High House Wealth Management linkedin.com/in/simondbaldwin   Steve Harris from Central Finance linkedin.com/in/steve-harris-36b6731a   Sukhraj Gill from JDP Procurement linkedin.com/in/sukhraj-gill-09430519   Sukjeet Kaur Watts from Roshni linkedin.com/in/sukjeet-kaur-watts-3562572b   Scaling up your business isn't easy, and can be a little daunting.

Helen Groves is alweer de 4e generatie Cultuurverkenner in Alkmaar. Een project dat ooit in 1997 in Alkmaar begin en inmiddels landelijk navolging heeft gekregen. Maar Helen is inmiddels geen verkenner meer maar cultuurondernemer. Tevens is zij projectleider, horeca-exploitant, producent en coördinator van culturele broedplaatsen, festivals en tentoonstellingen, maar ook debatten en (netwerk)bijeenkomsten. In deze podcast vertelt Helen uitgebreid over haar werk en over bijzondere Alkmaarse projecten zoals Dag & Dauw en Zicht op Talent.  Informatie: www.artiance.nl www.culturrhippie.nl  

  In aflevering 25 van de podcastserie interviewen Helen Groves en Rob Bangert, Roos van Amstel van de Bildung Academie in Amsterdam. De Bildung Academie gelooft in de kracht en potentie van de mens en is van mening dat Bildung antwoorden en oplossingen biedt voor de hedendaagse problematiek. Kunst is een belangrijk onderdeel van de Academie. De wereld is continue onderhevig aan veranderingen en brengt enorme complexiteit en problematiek met zich mee. Een voortwoekerende economische crisis, toenemende globalisatie, samenhangende (systeem)complexiteit, diverse bedrijfs- en organisatie gerelateerde problematiek, substantiële afname van natuurlijke hulpbronnen en groeiend scepticisme is zichtbaar welke dan ook pressie uitoefent op organisaties, bedrijven en de samenleving als geheel. Ook op individueel niveau is evident zichtbare toename vast te stellen van burn-outs, zingevingvraagstukken en vervreemding. Dit roept de vraag op hoe daar als samenleving op te anticiperen. De manieren waarop we ons nu organiseren (of leren, leven en werken) lijken ontoereikend om complexe problematiek op te lossen. Hoe gaan we om met een wereld en system(en) in transitie en wat betekent dit voor jezelf, de ander en de samenleving? Bildung draagt enerzijds actief bij aan de noodzakelijke ontwikkeling en bewustwording van eenieders essentie, en anderzijds vervult het ook een kritische en constructieve rol in organisaties, onderwijsinstellingen, het bedrijfsleven en de samenleving als geheel. Door Bildung tweeledig in te zetten wordt recht gedaan aan de ontwikkeling van het individu, leveren we organisaties, onderwijsinstellingen en bedrijven contextgebonden handvatten, en dragen we direct bij aan verbinding en gemeenschapsontwikkeling. Het is dan ook ons streven om een wereld te creëren waarin het Bildungsideaal – verbinding met jezelf, de ander en de maatschappij - als grondhouding centraal staat teneinde een wezenlijke bijdrage te leveren aan het welzijn van het individu en het collectief.   Meer informatie: www.debildungacademie.nl www.artiance.nl www.lkca.nl www.cultuurconnectie.nl    

Girls from the bush can do anything! Northern Territory sisters Belinda Rasheed and Sophie Rayner have taken the online style industry by storm, launching their fashion, homewares and style business Longrass Style.Because of their location (tucked into such a remote area of north western Northern Territory that the only access is through Western Australia), the sisters must travel often for both work and personal reasons. It’s through these travels Belinda discovered some great pieces- clothing and homewares that made her feel great and wanted to share with her friends and other women.While it was an idea that had been percolating between them for some time, it was kicked into action when Helen Groves from the Territory Drafter Magazine (remember her from this podcast interview?) asked them to do a lifestyle piece for her first edition.“We built it (the business) on the run,” says Belinda.“But it’s been so much fun and it’s worked for us.”Belinda and Sophie say that Australian designed and made is at the heart of their business and they source as much product locally as they can.“There’s always going to be inflated shipping costs to us (for stock) because of our location, so we take a hit on that one, but being Australian made is really important to us.”The business has developed quickly and they’ve had a lot of success doing ‘pop up’ shops through the Territory and Queensland.They will also be launching their own clothing line in Tamworth at the Landmark Classic in Febuary.Check out their Facebook page here. https://www.facebook.com/longrassstyle/

Helen Groves, editor of Territory Drafter Magazine joins RBC’s Jayne Cuddihy on Beating Around the Bush.For over 13 years, Helen has worked across northern Australia as an agronomist, but decided to launch her own lifestyle and campdrafting magazine when she realised she had a huge stockpile of good quality photos and content.Focussed on the Northern Territory and the Kimberly, the magazine is published every six months. For Helen, the most surprising thing was discovering the differences in the social media demographic, namely Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.Here’s her Facebook site- https://www.facebook.com/territorydraftermag/But she’s got a tonne of followers on her private photography page https://www.facebook.com/HelenGrovesPhotography/Helen considers herself an introvert, but has found the interactive aspects of social media and the magazine very rewarding- though overwhelming at times.She works with professionals all over the country, including graphic design, printers and contributors and says she prefers the remote/virtual office situation.
