Introduction to Entrepreneurship

Peter Drucker said that we live in the ‘Era of 3 Cs’:

1.??????Accelerated Change

2.??????Overwhelming Complexity

3.??????Tremendous Competition

The world of business has never been easy.?A testament to the difficult path of entrepreneurship, is the failure rates of new start-ups. 4 in 5 new businesses, fail within the first five years while many more fail in the first ten years of operation.

The world of business is becoming more competitive, volatile and difficult to navigate.?However, for some of those entrepreneurs that make it, the rewards can be substantial.

There is no magic wand or recipe for businesses to succeed.?We do know that many successful businesses that manage to become global powerhouses use their own unique systems and methodologies that allow them to prosper and thrive.?

In order to train and educate their people in these systems, they even operate their own academies and universities.?Examples of these are:

·??????‘Hamburger University’ established by McDonalds and claims that 275,000 people graduated with a degree in ‘Hamburgerology’

·??????‘Apple University’ in Cupertino, California established by Steve Jobs in 2008

·??????‘G2G’ or ‘Googlers to Googlers’ Programme where Google staff train other Google staff internally

In order to assist our clients, navigate these difficult times, we have invested considerable time and resources (within a three year time frame) to develop our own Business Growth & Organisation Methodology.

The ‘EXES Business Growth Methodology’ is a Road Map that if studied and applied correctly, will allow businesses to grow and thrive not only in times of prosperity but also in times of recession and hardship.

The Methodology is not theoretical.?It is based on our experience of more than 30 years in assisting companies of various sizes in 90+ sectors and 8 countries.?It is the same methodology we currently use to assist our clients and the basis of our signature training course ‘Business Growth Bootcamp’.
