Simple guidelines for Winning Professional Services Firms
Whilst many Professional Services Firms have continued to be successful over large spans of time this has led to a past-gazing mentality for many. Yet the needs of clients and employees is changing… and the pace of change is increasing.
A winning firm NEEDS to be a few steps ahead. It needs to be willing to raise the anchor and break with the past, and identify and execute change to be more successful in competitive market places.
The Firm Principles is based on our extensive experience of working in, and with, a wide range of Professional Services Firms. It addresses the issues, barriers, frustrations and challenges that are common across the sector.
It is more than a book. It’s a change programme, a practical guide, underpinned by Principles and a process with exercises, tools and frameworks to encourage thought, to challenge and to provide focus and discipline to help create a more successful business.
The book can be purchased in hardcopy for £59.99 by contacting thelma@thegrogroup.com
