Business Consulting
Business owners also engage us to assist them with implementation and delivery. Engaging us means business as usual’ can continue while we work on bringing about change. Or perhaps you need a Co-Pilot Interim CEO? You can’t inspire others, bring success and purpose for the business if you are running on empty!
With a bit of planning & preparation and having the right Co-Pilot taking an uninterrupted break is within your grasp. HIRE AN INTERIM CEO from within The Engine offers an experienced plugin CEO from as little as ½ a day a week (or longer) to provide business continuity and operational support for CEOs and business owners – to step away or have as additional support to drive your business.
Governance
Effective governance is imperative for fulfilling the commitments of a business, particularly for Directors who bear legal obligations. Our Executive Board service not only provides a structured board framework but also enhances business security, instils confidence in stakeholders, and fortifies resilience in the face of adversity.
Our proven comprehensive approach is tailored for those who prioritise risk mitigation and seek to meet legal requirements while ensuring the promises of the business are upheld.
Education
Building something that’s going to stand upright for a long period of time needs solid foundations. The same goes for business. You need solid foundations if you want to see success.
Too often, we see businesses that look great from the outside. Great branding, new website, enthusiastic founders…
But the reality is they’re just one small storm away from complete collapse.
We’re here to help you put the foundations in place at the beginning so you can build your business for long-term success with clarity and certainty.
