11 September 2013, Dubai, UAE: biz-group, a leading business strategy, training and corporate teambuilding company in the Middle East, is bringing prominent executive coach and entrepreneur Verne Harnish back to Dubai to lead its "Fast Growth 4 SMEs" workshop. Taking place at the JW Marriott Marquis Hotel in Dubai on 7th October, the workshop will help business owners and leaders accelerate profitable growth using lessons from Harnish's internationally best-selling book 'Mastering the Rockefeller Habits'.
Referred to as "the Growth Guy", Harnish is the founder and CEO of Gazelles Inc., a global executive coaching institute that helps small and mid-sized companies achieve consistent and sustainable growth. Also the founder of the world-renowned Young Entrepreneurs' Organisation (YEO), Harnish is well known for his 'One Page Strategic Plan', a simple but highly effective business strategy programme that has benefitted thousands of SMEs around the world and in the Middle East.
biz-strategy, the business consultancy arm of biz-group, is the exclusive licensee for Gazelles Inc. in the Middle East and has introduced the One Page Plan to a significant number of successful SMEs and growth companies in the region.
According to Harnish, growth companies are those that sustain year-on-year growth of 20 per cent or more, a pattern he attributes to four business decisions.
"The gap between success and failure for an SME often depends on the ability to scale and yet business leaders continue to underestimate the value of a growth plan. There are four key decisions that leaders must get right or risk leaving significant revenues, profits and time on the table. Nailing these decisions has helped businesses not only survive but become top players globally," said Harnish.
Interactive and highly impactful, the full-day workshop has been designed to help participants learn and execute these four decisions - People, Cash, Strategy and Execution. Based on the fundamentals of the One Page Plan, the first half of the seminar will help companies define core values, differentiate themselves from their competition and understand how to double their operating cash flow, among other important lessons.
The second session will focus on 'execution', helping executives establish essential habits, key metrics, an effective organisational structure and an operational rhythm.
In addition, participants will receive a sneak preview of Harnish's latest edition of his book, Mastering the Rockefeller Habits, slated to launch internationally in October 2013.
Hazel Jackson, CEO and founder of biz-group, said, "Business leaders today don't have the patience for anything that they cannot put into action right away. We have been coaching clients using Harnish's One Page Plan for the last seven years and it has helped them to double cash flows, triple their profitability and increase their market share phenomenally. This is the first time Harnish will be sharing his 'mantra for fast-growth' with UAE-based companies and, for SMEs that are growth-hungry, this is a session that is not to be missed."
Presented by biz-strategy in collaboration with Right Selection, and sponsored by Great Place to Work, BNI and Servcorp, the "Fast Growth 4 SMEs" workshop will take place from 8.30am to 5pm on Wednesday, 7th October, 2013 at the JW Marriott Marquis Hotel in Dubai. Early-bird delegate passes are priced at AED 1,615 per ticket and AED 10,498 for group bookings of eight people.
