Felt the pinch from The Great Resignation?

Originally starting around this time last year in the USA, but eventually making it even to our shores, The Big Quit has been driven by a broad spread of factors: bad remuneration, burnout, undervaluing staff, better employment opportunities, and a shift to more values-led work.

It has resulted in one of the largest movements of labour in our lifetimes.

But it needn’t be all doom and gloom for employers – especially those motivated to change and inspire the stars that we need to resource our recovery and growth.

This July 28, Advisory.Works’ Chris Bunce is leading a workshop on The Great Retention – and why it’s the right time to attract, retain and nurture the best possible talent for the best business outcomes - to help you win the Covid bounceback.

Head to our website and sign up for this free workshop – and learn how to build a better organisation and have a greater impact on the world.

Managing people for better performance - what works in the real world (and what doesn't).

You have a strategy that sets you apart. You’re driven, inspired, and motivated to have a disproportionate impact on the world.

But even with all this, many leaders struggle to hold their people accountable for achieving goals.

On June 30th, join Stephen Lynch and the Advisory.Works team on our second webinar in the series on Modern Management, where Stephen will lead a workshop on:

- KPIs that will really motivate your people
- Holding people accountable for performance
- How to praise your people the right way
- The way to coach and manage a team member who is struggling
- Why most incentive schemes don’t work

Even with a winning strategy, many leaders struggle to hold their people accountable for achieving their goals.

What do you do when this happens? How do you have tough conversations with your team, and what’s the best way to motivate your people to realise and perform to their potential?

Award-winning author and Advisory.Works’ consultant Stephen Lynch provides the answers to these questions and more in the next part of our webinar series on the 30th of June.

You’ve got the strategy? Great.

Got the drive, too? Brilliant. You’re ready to have a serious impact on the world.

But even with this, many fine leaders struggle to hold their people accountable for achieving goals.

When this happens, projects and tasks fall overdue, and metrics and KPIs aren’t met to an acceptable standard.

And while performance falls short of expectation, so does your ability to be an industry leader.

Executing your strategy, getting better engagement and other issues of modern management are the focus of Advisory.Works’ next webinar event on the 30th of June.

Logan Wedgwood and Uli Wiehle are excited to announce that they are the new owners of Advisory.Works.

We've bought a business that has an incredible, decades-long legacy of empowering Aotearoa New Zealand businesses. As we look to the next part of our journey, we give thanks to Simon Mundell who has built an extraordinary business. Our important role is to take this organisation and build it towards an even better future that we are all proud and excited to be a part of.

The last couple of years have been utilised to develop new content, frameworks, strategies, and technologies to drive ex*****on in a way that will embrace a meaningful culture and lifestyle, while also continuing to grow and build more businesses.

One way that we're doing this is by embracing new technologies and developing a hybrid business model that is both online and in person, giving businesses broader scope to engage with us – and giving us the ability to deliver in more spaces and aid more Kiwi organisations.

By advancing our technologies, Advisory.Works has developed a platform that gives clients the ability to define their strategies and execute with passion. We know this hybrid model is our future and we can’t wait to help more businesses grow and have a greater impact on the economies and societies where they operate.

If you would like to talk more about this exciting development please contact Logan ([email protected]) or Uli ([email protected]).

Defining your strategy is the most important step you must take.

Most companies want to grow. They want quality improvement. They want lean, efficient operations. They want to be better than their competitors.

All of these things are important, but they are not strategy.

This May 13, Stephen Lynch and Advisory.Works will be leading an interactive leadership workshop livestream event that will put your organisation’s strategy to the test.

Many business leaders are confused about what strategy really is. They confuse goal-setting with strategy, and often haven’t made any strategic choices at all.

Learn how to build a winning strategy for your organisation at What Strategy Is and Isn’t, the first of Advisory.Works’ seminar series for 2022.

Throughout 2022, we’ll present key learnings and show you what it takes to shape your business’s competitive advantage in our new economy. Over this first 45 minute lunchtime session, the formidable Stephen Lynch will lead an invaluable workshop on:

· Strategy traps to avoid
· The “sniff test” to tell whether or not you really do have a strategy
· The most important strategic decision you need to make
· Strategic planning best practices
