SEMINAR by TONY DOWN


Today, and through to the 6th May; the electorate here in the UK are being asked to make choices. Depending on what their choices are, and more importantly, their choice on the 6th May, this will determine who will govern Britain for the next four years or so.

So making the right choices are important, not just politically, but certainly in business aswell. Business is limited in the amount of resources that are available to them (economists call this 'Scarce Resources'). Whether the resource is money, people, or, capital equipment - the amount available is limited; so, we have to make choices from time to time.

This week I have been continuing to advise a business who wants to carry out a new project, but for a long time, this project has remained as just an idea in the directors minds - no progress has ever been made. I have helped the company put a 'Route Map' together whereby they can identify where they are now, then how they are going to achieve a successful outcome to the project - This is called; 'Strategy'.

Basically it's about planning. Making the most effective and efficient use of the limited resources available to them - Making right choices. Taking a wide panoramic view of the business and economic evironment and then breaking the picture down into detail.

Finally, Thursday and Friday I presented the second of this months business seminars. One of the delegates who attended is an Illustrator and Animator; at the end of the course he came up to me and said, 'Thanks Tony, the last two days have been really helpful', then he handed me a cartoon of myself presenting the seminar - I shall treasure this so much; there are some things that just cannot be measured in monetary terms.

Management and use of resources in business is important - It's not just about money, other resources are just as important too. For details of my seminar "IT'S NOT JUST THE COST, IT'S THE INVESTMENT THAT COUNTS", contact me at +44 (0) 08450 347343 or email me at: tony@gordon-down.co.uk
