We understand that starting a business can be a very daunting and stressful process for many, which is why we have developed our two programmes below to help individuals considering a life of working for themselves, rather than someone else.

Stepping into Enterprise

Our first programme is aimed at individuals who are at the very early stages of exploring the idea of starting a business.  It is designed to provide individuals with support to help them decide if self-employment/enterprise is the right decision for them.  Workshops will help individuals to explore their idea in detail, consider if they have entreprenurial skills necessary to be successful in business and also to consider the emotional aspects of starting a business, including the impact it has on their family.

Moving up in Enterprise

This programme follows on from the Stepping into Enterprise programme or is more suited for those who have made the decision to start their own business.  This programme covers the stages of starting a business including the types of business formations available, business planning, marketing & sales strategy and employing people.

We have extensive experience of working with a number of quality standards, both UK specific standards and International standards.  Our experience means that we have a good working knowledge of some of the most popular standards and how they can link to each other.  Our consultancy support in relation to these standards will help organisations from the very onset of considering and benchmarking themselves against such standards, through to actually preparing for the final assessment and accreditation.  In respect to Investors in People, we are also licensed to provide assessments for organisations, as well as consultancy and advice.

Our support can help organisations achieve the following Quality Standards:-

• Investors in People (Assessment Services also provided)
• Customer Service Excellence
• Training Quality Standard (UK specific but principles applicable to all Countries)
• Framework 360 (JENKA's own quality standard framework for all round business improvement)

Culture Audit

Culture is influenced by management style and control!

We have developed this programme to help an organisation identify it's own culture using 10 indicators of cultural performance.  This support programme includes the initial benchmarking/audit of the culture of the business, together with 4 sessions of support to help advise on the implementation of recommendations which fall out of the audit.  A further benchmark/audit is then conducted at the end of the support programme to ascertain what difference has been achieved.  This programme is usually delivered over a period of 6 to 12 months, to fully evaluate the scope of change achieved.

Values Based Business

A programme designed to help leaders and managers of the business to define a clear set of values which underpin the way in which the business should operate and the culture should support.  This programme if very specifically designed for the Senior/Executive Management or Director level of leadership as any changes to business ethics/values needs to be driven from the top!

D.R.I.E.M.E. Change Management

Our D.R.I.E.M.E. model of change enables individuals to be supported through a 6 step process to implement change within the workplace.  This model is beneficial to anyone wishing to implement changes, irrespective of their position within the organisation.
