STRATEGIC BUSINESS GROWTH

CHALLENGING THE STATUS QUO

There’s no more “business as usual”. The world has changed, and we need to adapt with it. Different lenses, perspectives and actions. Let’s do it!

My EthosWe can't solve today's problems with yesterday's thinking.

Growing a business requires a variety of lenses, through which you can see opportunities. Not a little more of the same, but a completely new and refreshing approach to the business. Working across many industries and with dozens of companies over a quarter of a century, equiped me with those lenses.

Values

Authenticity

I am who I am. I don’t pretend to be someone else. I use my own voice to be as good as I can be.

Transparency

All cards on the table. No hidden agenda. No games.

Win-Win

Your success is my success. We work together so everyone wins!

Congruency

Walking the walk, not just talking the talk. Confidently backing myself.

Collaboration

No one knows everything. Our value together should always be more the sum of our individual value.

Strategy Development

Over a decade of strategic advisory, I have 5 Simple steps to grow your business.

Think. Create. Do. Measure. Repeat. Life shouldn’t be more complicated than that.

Marketing

The best of both worlds: a commercially-focused marketer, experienced in sales and operations. A trail-blazer digital strategist, with hands-on global experience.

Business Development

I believe that Business Development isn’t just more sales. It’s building a business both organically and inorganically. It’s a fundamentally different approach to business growth.

M&A

A business is a vehicle and an asset you create to build your legacy. Capitalise on your creation, and enjoy the years of hard work. Define your exit plan to maximise your business’ value.

Strategic Vision

Strategy Development

Good strategy is the antidote to competition. Strategic thinking is the process of developing a strategy that defines your value proposition and your unique value chain. This process includes market and competitive research as well as an assessment of the company’s capabilities and the industry forces impacting it.

Strategic Plan

Most strategies end up in a drawer. Without a clear implementation plan, a strategy does nothing for the business. A concise, measured and attainable action plan can bring a strategy to life, and truly transform a business.

Execution

The next and obvious step, is taking the strategic plan, and carefully manage its’ execution. Cutting the plan into small projects, managing the budgets and human resources, outsourced or internal, and assessing the impact on the business on regular intervals, is a skill and process which most companies can improve on.

People & Processes

Businesses rise and fall on execution. Having the right people, in the right places, doing the right thing, has proven to the holy trinity of business.

Financial Management

Financial plans are seldom an integral part the business’s strategic plan. Forecasts, Financial Dashboarding, effective cash managements, investment strategy – all crucial factors in the ongoing success and growth of the business.

Raz was instrumental in implementing our strategy on a global basis. This was a huge task…. We have seen a significant improvement in just 6 months. Most organisations have no idea where to start this process, and CXC Global was no exception. We had two false starts and wasted tens of thousands of dollars before we brought on the experts. Raz got us on track in a very short space of time..

Dave Thomas

Chairman, CXC Global

Raz is an entrepreneur, he has the ability to work on a project rather than in a project, allowing him to look from the outside in. I have had the pleasure of working with Raz on several projects and have been impressed by his results. Raz also has the gift of simplifying a complicated project so that it can be dealt with effectively.
