What I am up to...

8th July 2011

I am currently working hard structuring my business concept for a small to medium business advisory service. The main focus will be upon customer connectivity and service development.

I attended an SIE 3 day start up conference in July, which has helped me out greatly. I also have a great support network helping me construct my thoughts and ideas.

I cannot wait to help out businesses and provide them with tools and assistance to develop their customer relationships and ultimately increase their sales.

Thanks to Fusion Hair Salon, CMSL and Q-Ten for helping me construct my business model.

Chris.

About this Blog

This is the start of my blog as a manager.

I have been a manager in my current role for 3 years (9 years management experience in total but I would say that the last 3 years have been my most progressive). I have now had enough experience and time to form my own opinions and visions. I also find myself in a position that allows me to implement some of my ideas.

What is this blog for?

My initial thoughts are to blog all the things that I have learned over the years, especially those things that I have had the chance to implement to see if they work in practice.
I do not claim to be a 'management guru' of any kind, although I do believe I have good ideas and good intentions to create a pleasurable working environment. I am learning all the time and I am happy to pass on all I that I know and hopefully I will learn a lot more from any comments that are posted and discussions that come out from this blog.

Who is this blog for?

This blog is aimed at aspiring and practising managers who are looking for some fresh ideas and 'food for thought'. Hopefully you will be able to take something away from here.

What are my aims?

My aim is to collect all my learnings in one place and help people.

My management style

There are many different styles of management and I think it is important to realise that, as a manager, one style will never suit every situation; you have to change your style based on the context of each situation.
