Drumlin Consulting* can help make strategy happen in the context of your business plan.
Through hands on learning at various management levels, in a number of industries, my practical experience can be a benefit in assisting you to achieve your goals. My mantra is : plan well, maintain focus, and manage capital efficiently. Adherence to these principles along with excellent execution of your plan, will see your start-up or business achieve all that it can.
Entrenovation & Start-ups
As described in Ready, Set, Start-up , from idea identification to becoming an operating business is a process embodied in the practice of entrenovation. It is preparatory to the commencement of a business managed by entrepreneurs.
- Undertaking a startup is not merely a matter of identifying and implementing a brilliant initial idea. Validate your idea, create a plan, and efficiently execute the plan.
- If focus starts to move away from the defined market, re-visit and adapt the plan before proceeding further.
- Install Drumlin’s spread sheet based budget and capital management tool.
- Understand your potential users. Make your product/service not merely good, but excellent.
- Evolving your idea is the embodiment of understanding your users.
- Engage Drumlin as advisor.
