"Shepherding: Emerging from Chaos to Order"
by Basil G.F. Springer GCM PhD, Change-Engine Consultant
I
spend most of my time Shepherding as a
contribution to the development of the small
business sector and its stakeholders. This is a
very gratifying experience and I love it. It is
indeed fulfilling to be remunerated for what I
love doing.
The stakeholders of the small business sector
are six-fold and we have to address them all to
preser ve
the
integrity of the
integrated national
system and to
allow order to
emerge from what
is often a chaotic
business situation.
I
help
"Entrepreneurs in
the making" make
the decision to
leave their job and
start their own
business. I help
them face and
address the issues which are getting in their
way, so that they can feel confident in making
the decision.
I help "Start-up, surviving, established,
branching out and expanding businesses" to
grow their businesses. I introduce them to a
deceptively simple step by step planning and
monitoring process which is called the
Management
of
Business
Systems
(ManOBiz™) matrix. If carefully followed this
process puts their businesses on a path to
sustained profitability.
I prepare "Shepherds (Life coaches and
business mentors)" to help entrepreneurs grow
their business. I share the details of the
(ManOBiz™) matrix which, with their
experience, will help the entrepreneurs to clear
obstacles along the journey to profitability.
I can help to protect "Investors" from losing
their investment by introducing them to an
innovative form of collateral (Shepherding) to
secure their investment and give them a
satisfactory return.
I can prepare "Board Members" to make an
effective contribution in terms of interpreting
shareholder
policy, approving plans and
monitor the performance of management
against those plans, so that the profitability of
the business can grow from strength to strength.
I can help "National Policy Makers" grow the
national economy, one successful entrepreneur
after another. I can make a case to them to
create an enabling environment to support
entrepreneurs on their journey towards
enterprise development, so that the nation can
increase its rate of economic growth.
