4. HOW HEALTHY IS YOUR BUSINESS?

Other consultancy businesses offer free online business health checks, but you won’t find one here. Milestones cannot truly understand your business from an anonymous tick box. What about your culture? Your workplace environment? Your team dynamic? To make assumptions about you would go against our company ethos, which is all about developing meaningful and long-term relationships and truly making a positive difference.

 

The Milestones Business Health Check looks forensically at your organisations capability & performance. It allows you to get a real understanding of the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. We work together and dive into 9 critical success areas with a focus on both cause and effect:

​

  1. Great Leadership

  2. Clarity of Strategy

  3. People Approach

  4. Value Adding Partners

  5. Systems, Processes & Proposition

  6. Customer Performance

  7. Employee Advocacy and Culture

  8. Society and Environment

  9. Business Results

 

The key output will be a detailed report which will score and benchmark each of the nine critical areas, setting you on a path of improvement towards excellence.

6. LEADERSHIP COACHING & BUSINESS MENTORING PROGRAMME

Milestones works hand in glove with supporting leaders and leadership teams develop and become more impactful. Milestones adopt the effective TGROW approach, which we've found mutually rewarding with our clients down the years.

  • Topic - Decide on subject(s) for discussion

  • Goal - Agree on measurable output

  • Reality - Describe current situation & uncover real issues

  • Options - draw out & review solutions and select preferred solution

  • Wrap-up - Discuss implications, Commit to action steps, Identify/support/check goal achievement

 

We have a structured framework, that is a proven approach but not restrictive. In our humble experience having a fluid and organic approach usually works best within a structured framework:

​

  • 1x Initial 'kick-off' meeting:  Face to face morning or afternoon session, to revisit GCIndex assessment, discuss any existing 'development action plans' that exist formally or informally, set; expectations, deliverables, outcomes and measures of success, AoB and agree a fluid development action plan aligned to personal and business requirements.

  • 4x Quarterly review session: Face to face 2-3 hour meeting, to allow a reflection on the previous period, explore challenges, review success and to look forward/plan for the coming period

  • 8x Monthly update sessions: Virtual 60-90 min meeting, to provide ongoing support as a wrap around the quarterly reviews

  • Unlimited* ad-hoc support: Providing accessible support as and when required, be that phone, text, whatsapp, dedicated 'slack channel' and email

  • 1x Annual review: Fresh GCIndex assessment completed, to act as a catalyst around a a  morning or afternoon session, to review coaching/mentoring performance against expectations and set out any further support requirements for the coming 12 months.

​

*24/7 access within a fair use informal policy
