Through Tailored Strategy Development and Implementation

Already in Business?

If you have your business up and running, we use the solid foundations that you have established for your business and work with you to achieve the goals that you want. 

New to business?

If you are new to business, we can help you clarify your business idea and develop your goals so that you can measure your success from day one. 

Our Approach

Using our modified version of “The balanced scorecard” (BSC) approach, you will initially identify the areas of business you wish to work on and immediately create specific goals and action plans that will enable immediate action to build profitability.

So, in doing this, we look at the business and what it wishes to achieve in each of the strategic areas of Sales, Finance, Operations, Learning and Growth. We look at the issues holding you back and prioritise those issues so you can work on the high-priority ones immediately.

Digital Realism

After completing two of Keith’s business workshops, I feel more committed to my business and achieving my goals. I was really impressed with the simple, yet effective skills produced and now feel I am on the right path to success. Previously I had my head buried in the sand and now I am willing to look at the finer details of the day to day running of the business. Keith’s powerful business spreadsheets has become a great tool to ensure we become a successful small business.

Small business planning can be an overwhelming task for new entrepreneurs. Trying to clearly and simply document dreams and vague ideas was really hard for me. I found working with Just small Business surprisingly easy.

Keith Davidson helped me to focus on the key issues that will affect my profitability and identify clear priorities that will help me build a sustainable business, faster. I now have bit sized, achievable goals and a list of priorities. I have a useful plan that I can come back to every couple of weeks and actually measure my results.

The workshop was fun and easy and made me wonder why Ive always found the business planning process so difficult in the past. Thanks Keith!

Business planning is something that I have done before but without any guidance or objective input from someone who knows the pitfalls and challenges.

Its that nagging thing that you know but avoid - keep on doing it the same way but expect a different result. So when Keith invited me to a work shop for strategic planning I knew it was my opportunity to get an objective contribution to the process.

I am very grateful to Keith for not only providing that contribution and steering my thoughts and planning in the right direction but pushing me outside the comfort zone to stretch my thinking. Working with Keith has given me a great deal of clarity about the what, why and with whom of my business and some great ideas to use that will make it easy to implement.
