PARELLEL WORKSHOP
Staying Relevant when the Game Changes
Speakers
Lachie Smart, COO, The End Game
Adrian Nisbet, Founder & CEO, The End Game
Date and Time | Friday 22 May, 11:15am - 1:00pm
You built your business on skill, grit and reputation. But lately, it feels different. The pace is relentless, staff don’t think like owners, and what used to work… doesn’t.
This workshop will explore the realities of today’s business environment, where senior hires sometimes fall short of expectations, systems intended to streamline operations are still held together by duct tape and goodwill, you’re working harder than ever yet growth feels slower, margins are tightening, commitment is slipping, and stress is constant.
Capability got you here, but relevance will determine your future. Learn how to adapt, stay ahead and ensure your business continues to thrive in a market that’s evolving faster than ever.
In this workshop, you will learn how to get your time back by building systems and structures that prevent every problem from landing on your desk. You’ll learn how to transform your business so you’re not constantly cleaning up after people who should be leading. You’ll regain control by tightening priorities, expectations and accountability without burning out your team. You’ll make change stick so improvements stay in place, even when you’re not looking over everything. And you’ll stay relevant by adapting your business proactively, before customers or staff move on without you.
