Our custom approach to each client
Every business we deal with is different. Many business' may have common issues such as wanting to increase profit, recruitment / retention of good people and growth issues but there are still unique differences that need to be taken into account when helping a business achieve its targets.
Coumans customizes the approach to each client using our wide range of available Growth and Profit Solutions. We follow a broad framework of NOW – WHERE – HOW to get a clear picture of where you want to take the business and the issues or opportunities you are currently facing. This then guides us in assisting you to implement the right solutions at the right time to achieve your targets.
We are 'Facilitators' not 'Consultants'
We are a team of 'facilitators' not 'consultants'. This means when we work with you on your business we 'facilitate' a change process rather than using a theory based understanding to tell you how to run your business.
Our approach is to work with senior management behind the scenes to achieve their targets using proven management tools / processes. A business owner or manager has the greatest knowledge about their own business so it makes a much more powerful combination if an experienced facilitator can use management 'processes' to draw out the right strategies to drive the business forward. This method gives more ownership of the change process to management and also has the added benefit of training owners / managers in the latest business development tools so they can continue to drive the process once the outcome has been achieved.
Our focus on 'Implementation'
Coumans firmly believes the key to success in business is in the 'implementation'. We typically tell clients: "Don't pay us for the plan, pay us for the implementation"
We say this because we feel that without implementation any plan or strategy will almost certainly fail to achieve the outcomes a client desires. Getting strategies into action is where we specialize and why our clients choose us to partner with them for the long term in delivering to them innovative business and personal solutions.
