Networking Breakfast: Innovate Your Way to Success

Success in business is about understanding the market you’re in and devising ways to improve the products, services or business structures on which your competitors run their companies. It’s about standing out from the crowd by offering something unique that will catch the attention of prospective clients.

Starting up a company is not easy. I did it because I wanted the challenge of starting up my business and using that experience to help others start theirs.

We’ve been very successful with grants, growing our business and receiving an internationally recognised award.

Along the journey we’ve experienced a lot, learnt heaps and I’d like to share that with you.

The outcomes from this presentation will enable you to:

  • Leverage what you have and what’s available to your advantage when money is tight
  • See the advantages of flexible workforce models and tapping into underutilised talent
  • Appreciate how important company culture and focus is to the smooth running of your business

The topics you will cover include:

  • Personal journey – from public sector safety to start-up company rollercoaster
  • Setting up a flexible work model to sustain business
  • Taking new ideas, products and services to market
  • Lessons I learnt taking the business to internationally recognized success.
