Why businesses fail – PwC experts tell all

January 22, 2010

- There are more companies that fail than succeed
- Ultimately, it comes down to understanding your business

Why do businesses fail? It can be for a number of reasons – not managing cash, growing too fast, having the wrong product or fundamental idea. In this video, two well respected PricewaterhouseCooper’s experts give their advice on why many businesses aren’t able to succeed, while other businesses do. One of the key issues touched on by Nigel Reynolds is that of employment, and finding the right candidate. Particularly in the US and Europe, the cost of getting rid of someone who isn’t doing their job is a hefty sum – so getting recruitment right is a key part of growing a successful business.

For more advice about growing a successful business and avoiding failure, watch this video above.

Need to nail your social media marketing plan? Get a geek to help out!

- when looking internally for the right person to execute your marketing plan – call on the tech guy

Getting involved with a brand new marketing strategy for your business is a daunting task, especially for someone who isn’t confident with technology and “geeky” things. In this video, Silicon Valley Blogger, Louis Gray, talks about what’s needed to find the best online advocates for your business, internally.

“Companies who are executing a successful social media strategy need to have multiple hands on deck participating. People everywhere from marketing to public relations are already good advocates for your product. They know the message.”

Not only that, Gray also suggests that the “geeks” of the business are going to be the most trusted online.

Young people shun the big brands – how the employment world is changing

January 20, 2010

- traditionally, businesses have been built through control and strong leadership
- as the next generation move into the working demographic, companies are increasingly finding it difficult to recruit talented people

Young people are increasingly favouring smaller companies when looking for potential jobs. As Penny Power explains in this video, the next generation’s appreciation of social capital and personal branding means that organisations who treat their employees as a number simply won’t be able to recruit the best talent out there in the market.

Businesses still adopting traditional management and recruitment strategies need to let go of the strict control which used to be the norm in large organisations. In this day and age, asking new staff to “leave their personality on the pavement” won’t just discourage new talent, it will probably drive their job-search in the other direction.

January 19, 2010

- Build your business before you seek funding
- When it comes to investment, perhaps what you need is expertise, not cash

In the world of reality TV, aquiring funding for a business idea can look like an absolute breeze. However in the real world, it’s much more difficult to get backing for an idea without a tangible product or a proven track record when making a pitch.
In this video, PricewaterhouseCoopers experts, Nigel Reynolds and Julian Jenkins talk about alternative ways your business can benefit from external funding – and it may not be in the form of currency you’d expect.

The rule of five – Innocent’s key to success

January 13, 2010

- Good things no longer come in three, they come in five.
- Efficiency is the only way to grow your business as Dan Germain explains.

As Dan Germain explains in this video, a lot of things within Innocent Drinks happen in groups of five. When it comes to efficiency in the work place, it pays to find a strategy that works and works well – after all, building an efficient team is the only way you can maximise business growth.
At the start of each year, the team at Innocent make five goals – just the right number for everyone to remember – and share them with all 250 of their employees. So as a way to ensure that each person in the business is working in a productive way, the majority of your work needs to be working towards one or more of those five goals. If you find that you’re spreading yourself across too many tasks – some of which aren’t working towards the business goals – you’re probably wasting your time.

The recipe for start-up success? PWC tells all

January 13, 2010

- Acquiring funding can be done in more ways than one; including government-backing.
- In this show, Nigel Reynolds from PWC explains how to “think equity, not debt”

Now more than ever, convincing a bank manager to lend cash to start up a business is a tough and arduous process. Increasingly, small business owners and entrepreneurs are looking for funding elsewhere. So in times where people are more hesitant to hand over money, where can you look for assistance?
Debt funding has become an increasingly difficult way to start up your business. According to Reynolds, equity funding is one of the more availale ways to seek funds and encourage start up businesses. In addition to that, using personal connections, such as friends and family, can be a very effective way to seek funding and kick start your business.
