Introducing the adapt way
The adapt way program is an online, self-paced program to help you clarify the future plans of your business so you can execute your vision and strategies and put succession thinking into action. The City of South Perth is offering this unique opportunity to a limited number of eligible businesses, to participate in an online 3-month program, which will give you the tools and strategy to ensure you can spend less time working IN your business, and more time ON your business. The program is structured to help business owners:
- get clear on your vision to achieve your aspirations
- build an implementable strategy
- improve leadership capability and performance
- promote accountability
Tailored for SMEs and based on the adapt way of building resilience, sustainability and scalability which has been proven many times over through the incredible results we help our customers achieve. This 8-session program is led by an expert small business coach and underpinned by adapt HQ which provides a central repository for your journey.
