Obsessed with strategy, marketing and teams
I recently attended the Growth Strategies Conference in London – an array of speakers and a good day overall catching up with numerous contacts.
Highlights/most memorable parts of the day: Colonel Tim Collins OBE, Martin Higginson, Doug Richard.
A couple of themes came through loud and clear.
The findings of the Magic Million survey were totally supported:
“Really great businesses are obsessed with strategy, marketing and teams…
[the survey agrees]
and almost certainly some forms of external advice and external finance…
[the survey agrees]
a big dose of luck…”
[the survey agrees]
So, a big tick in the box for the survey. (Copies available free from office@directorscentre.com)
Despite the doom and gloom in the papers, the majority of attendees were optimistic about the future. (I should think so!)
4% pessimistic… about the next 12 months
23% cautious
56% optimistic
17% bullish.
