I help business owners work out what's getting in the way - and what to do about it.
I'm Jo Goldberg.
I work with small and medium-sized businesses that have reached the point where growth has made things more complicated.
The business may be successful. The team may be growing. But the ways of working that made sense when the organisation was smaller are no longer quite enough.
Responsibilities become blurred. Decisions slow down. Processes develop around people rather than being designed properly. Problems get fixed temporarily and then come back. And the business owner often ends up becoming the person who joins all the dots.
That's where I can help.
My work usually starts by understanding what's actually happening. I speak to the people in the organisation, look for the patterns behind the symptoms and give you an independent view of where things are getting in the way.
Then we decide what happens next.
Sometimes the client takes the recommendations and implements them independently. Sometimes I stay involved and help make the changes happen. Either way, my role is to help you focus on the things that will make the biggest practical difference.
I bring experience across operations, people, change and project delivery.
But I don't believe businesses need another consultant arriving with a favourite framework and trying to make everything fit it. Every organisation has its own history, people and context. The starting point is understanding yours.
