I can't help you solve your loo paper crisis ... but I can help you fix your cash flow and profit worries
Running low on loo paper is uncomfortable
Running low on cash and profits is disastrous
when the economy gets tight, cash flow and profits become critical to your survival
You need to get the bright ideas out of your team members heads and into your bank
If your team members aren't regularly coming to you with cost-saving and revenue generating ideas then you've got "go-to-work" thinking, mindsets, toolsets and culture going on.
And if your competitors up the road have team members who are thinking and acting like business partners: who have the toolset and mindset to care as much about the top and bottom-lines as you do ... then you're not even in the game.
Stop your needless worry.
In one short day we can get your people to find hundreds of thousands of dollars in cost-savings or revenue. They've probably been sitting on these ideas for ages ... you simply haven't had the tools to unleash their brilliance.

For Your Company to Compete ...
Business Acumen Must Go Beyond the Executive Suite
In today's complex, competitive and fast-paced business environment, business acumen - the understanding of what it takes for your company to make money - must go well beyond the executive suite.
Only when ALL your team members - from management to front-line understand your financial drivers, are aligned with your company's strategic objectives; and 'get' the connection between strategy and financial success can you have a true competitive edge.
With business acumen your employees become business partners because they understand:
With business acumen your people make decisions and take day-to-day actions that drive the right results in the right way
The right questions lead to the right answers
When business acumen spreads in a company, team members begin to ask questions - of the organisation, their departments and themselves
And these questions lead to others

Identified significant savings
Our business is a not-for-profit and our people do brilliant work in the communities we serve. However, the bottom-line, and the impact of their daily decisions on our cash flow, is not top of mind. With increasing government scrutiny, and a deep desire to deliver even higher quality services for our clients, it is imperative that our leadership and front-line team members build their business acumen.
We engaged Shelley to deliver the Zodiak program and were delighted with the outcome. She delivered a fast-paced, high energy program. Throughout the day our leadership team held rich discussions, made many linkages back to their roles and team, and we identified several significant potential cost savings and revenue generating ideas.
If you want to shift your culture, and get everyone in your team thinking like business partners, I highly recommend Zodiak and Shelley.

Best ROI We Ever Had
The lack of business understanding in our Team was having a serious impact on our culture. We wanted to grow a shared responsibility for the growth of our business.
We contacted Shelley, and as part of a bigger culture re-design project, we ran our first Zodiak training last year (2018).
The impact on sharing the responsibility was extraordinary and we have since made a decision that it was so valuable it is now a permanent part of our onboarding program.
Best R.O.I we have ever had!

Identified over $475k Potential Revenue
We ran the Zodiak program with Shelley and 8 of our team leaders. In just one day we identified over $475K in potential revenue for the company
A powerful learning and business changing experience
1
The Simulation
As new owners of the struggling Zodiak company, learners sign for a bank loan, attract investors, purchase equipment and materials, and deliver products and services. As they do, terms like cash flow, return on equity, working capital, cost of good sold and assets come vividly to life.
In just four hours as they handle chance events, move game pieces, answer to investors and make tough business decisions, something remarkable happens. Learners embrace new insights. Not just about how the numbers work, but about the consequences of business decisions and actions on financial success. That's true business acumen.

Next: Connections to your company
The Zodiak simulation is powerful, but what follows - a two to three-hour session known as Connections - makes the learning come to life. Learners use knowledge and insights from the simulation to look at your own company.
They explore strategies, processes, financial concepts, terminology, profit drivers, cash flow, the competition and more. It's here that learners connect to their own behaviours - their day-to-day decisions and actions that impact the bottom-line.

Finally: Deep Integration
What makes us a bit different is we follow up to ensure that you embed deeply these mindsets and tools into your team.
Once a month for six-months we'll jump on a webinar to report back on how which projects are making and saving money. Which strategies are about to be adopted that could impact cash flow.
Which type of person would you rather lead - a business partner or an employee?
When you've got employees who just turn up to work, you've got a business that is under-performing!
