Cliff’s knowledge of business development, finance and systems facilitates growth and productivity. His friendly yet frank approach is welcome and refreshing. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience from running his own companies, which means he understands what it is like to be a business owner and can empathise with the pain that can be part and parcel of running a business.
Simon Alder, OWNER OF ALDER SECURITY
I have had the pleasure of working with Cliff at the start up of my business. I have been able to contact him to seek advice on marketing, branding, market research, strategy and may other skills required in setting up a business.
Brian Conroy, DIRECTOR OF WOAPA
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Cliff several times over the last few years. Most recently hiring him as a speaker at a business workshop event earlier this year, where his presentation was extremely well received by the attendees. In an industry filled with business “experts” and “gurus” it’s a welcomed relief to come across someone with a plethora of experience in building and scaling businesses in a vast array of industries.
Suzy Olivier, DIRECTOR OF MOTHERS OF ENTERPRISE
I have worked with Cliff for several years, he has shown knowledge in marketing, customer service/retention, sales and finance – especially in maximising cash flow. He is reliable and always happy to help. He will be an asset to any business.

Our Approach

A unique six-point approach to fast-track your business growth

01. Culture
Many problems within a business can be traced back to its culture. Fostering an environment where people are encouraged, feel valued and that they have something worth giving will allow them to share and express different ideas and concepts that will feed into growing a business and keeping it on trend.

As a business owner, this can be a difficult task because employees can be naturally suspicious or cautious. They may not want to share or contribute new ideas for fear of standing out or losing their job.

Having a third party can cut through this fear and get to the heart of the matter. Being able to gauge the temperature of the business, we will find hidden gems within your company and help you to nurture these vital assets: your employees.
02. Strategy
Strategic planning is an area in where a lot of organisations struggle.

We will help you identify, define and clarify what your company is trying to achieve. Then we will look at how to communicate this goal to your team and what part they will play going forward. Once that is achieved we will then help you to ensure every team member is engaged by having clear objectives and being held accountable for their contribution to the company.

Business Optics will work with you so you can continually PRIORITIZE key tasks, carry out those ACTIVITIES that deliver on the priorities and measure the RESULTS of those activities.
03. People
People are your most valued assets. It is imperative that the company only has people who are aligned to and adopting the culture of the company.

Business Optics can be that fresh pair of eyes, helping you to implement the correct culture and strategy, all the while ensuring you have the right team around you to give you every chance of success.
04. Systems
Good systems remove waste and inefficiency from your business. Having robust systems will contribute to stronger growth, better profit margins, satisfied customers, improved cash flow, employee retention and make the business more saleable, to name just a few.

Business Optics will work alongside you to create effective systems and assist you to put them in place. We will provide the ability to test and measure how each system is working, which will allow you to tweak each system to ensure everything is running at optimum efficiency.
05. Resources
Resourcing the activities and actions to achieve your goals is imperative. It is demoralizing when people are given a task to do but no resources or proper tools to help them complete it.

Creating the balance between providing resources whilst protecting profit margins and cash flow can be a challenge. At Business Optics we can help you achieve this balance by creating KPI’s within each of the activities or actions being taken, providing you with the information you need to make key decisions.
06. Execution
Execution is the implementation of all five approaches and is where information overload can occur, when all the inner workings start to move and data from all the measuring floods in.

Business Optics can take all the gathered information and give it back to you as a quick-reference dashboard, meaning that you have your key figures in an easy-to-understand, usable format.
