2023: TIME TO THRIVE

2022 has been a challenging year for many business, especially those in a high growth phase where the challenges of supply chain, access to labour and skills and emerging technology has pushed many owners to the limit testing their personal resilience.
These challenges have been magnified for business owners whose businesses have plateaued or declined in the last 2 years.
However, it's also set a platform from which many businesses will be able to springboard from in 2023. Many businesses have realised that they can adapt and "pivot" quickly to address changing business conditions and can use this to stay ahead of the game.
The last 3 years of disruption and uncertainty have caused issues for many but have also created some amazing opportunities, for example:
■ The move to digital service delivery means that its even more feasible to service a global audience;

■ The Pandemic has forced some of your competitors out of the market and will create opportunities for you to acquire smaller businesses and extend your reach or product offering;

■ Baby Boomers are leaving the workforce creating a global skills shortage (predicted by Boston Consulting in 2013) and making it even more important to focus on attraction and retention strategies. This can be a competitive advantage.

■ The challenges of reduced access to labour have meant that some businesses have been able to focus on improving efficiency and productivity to reduce their reliance on labour, especially when this process improvement is aligned with leveraged tech strategies.
Whether your business has been thriving, plateauing or declining in 2022, now is the time to start planning for 2023 - NOW...not in February 2023 - so that you start putting the right strategies in place to take advantage of the opportunities that will emerge.
We will continue to produce resources on this topic that will help you to take 2023 and make it a year of unparalleled success. Make sure you subscribe to our regular updates to keep you abreast of new insights, trends, tools and programs to support you in your journey.
