Slide 1 of 10 By Ivan Uttley Over the next hour, we cover a few very powerful tactics that any SME can adopt if they find themselves in difficult circumstances under-performance – financial distress.

Slide 2 of 10 The Spark Power Hour – Reassurance Why you should invest this hour: - How to recover your business performance These are all tactics I have personally applied with great success in turnaround and rescue situations over a period of 20 years across industries across the world. Firstly we’ll work through what really needs your focus, what we should prioritze and how to test our thinking. Secondly, we do something that is necessary for ANY business, thriving or not, but in a different way which is easy, immediate and powerful. I’ll show you the most efficient way to align your business, assign accountability, and to focus on the important things. Thirdly, I’ll show you how instead of focusing on Value Creation, by focusing on the removal of Value Destruction, we have a much more powerful way to drive immediate results for far less effort. Lastly, we’ll work through Operating Cash Cycles, to demonstrate why the first two tactics are so important, and how to make a big impact on your business by using cash effectively. If we have time, we’ll discuss other very effective tactics that you should consider.

Slide 9 of 10 The Spark Power Hour – Sanity Check - Obstacles every business faces Problems of delegation and team-building - As a business grows and succeeds the role of the management must evolves into that of leadership. This manifests itself in needing to control, not letting go, and the failure to delegate to a team better equipped to do what needs to be done. Poor data - We are entitled to our own opinions but not our own facts. Facts require data, and the business strategy and management of a business, almost always require data. Structure - Your business is nothing more than a large team of people, relying on each other to do what is required and expected of them in a consistent manner, the outcome of which customers use to solve their problems or make their lives easier. This needs clear delineation of responsibility, clarity about hand-over points, everyone to understand their role, and to be held accountable and be rewarded for their efforts or lack thereof. Assess your business on these and use the insight to help prioritize your actions Thought leadership - Success will bring the unwelcome attention of your competition. The ability to navigate the market, predict trends, understand consequences, out-maneuver your competition and lead the business, demands a strategic line of thinking rather than merely the operational kind that was so successful in a small firm. These are problems that result from growth and success. How do you know when you are done, or how you are progressing or what you should prioritize? Use these typical obstacles that successful businesses deal with and which others stumble at as you periodically take stock of your business.
