Business Strategies for Growth
Are you and your staff doing the roles in your business that suits you best? Would you rather be spending more time growing the business rather than running it? Would you rather work “On the business” than “In the business”
As a business grows business leaders often find themselves spending more time away from the reason why they went into business. A truly functional business ensures that staff are empowered to take appropriate decisions, and avoid unnecessary reliance on management.
This breakfast briefing will share with you a tool that is used to create the right mix of resources throughout a business and get them working in the right way. In this workshop you will learn
• A simple concept to build an efficient business
• How to reduce the stress in the business
• How to reduce reliance upon management
• How to reduce the risk in a business
• How to create a responsible workforce

Understanding The Paperwork
HM Revenue and Customs require exporters to demonstrate documentary compliance with security and customs regimes, even if they choose to outsource the shipping function to agents or forwarders or delegate logistics to the buyer under ex-works terms or similar. Non compliance risks delay in the supply chain and the possibility of financial penalty. This seminar, accredited by The Institute of Export, will address all these issues and more. It will examine all aspects of export documentation from first enquiry to arrival of the goods at destination and will seek to establish best practice, emphasising the need for a clear and coherent audit trail for each shipment to ensure customs compliance.
