BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
Background
Scarlet Opus is an associate member of Navisys which is a results-focused group of Business Development Facilitators who use the unique Aligner 20:20 Process to help organisations define and achieve transformational goals.
Aligner 20:20 is a set of consultancy tools and processes, supported by professional business coaching and mentoring, that enables high quality, very experienced Facilitators to work with SME's to help them to improve by growing sales and reducing relative costs, and to realise other business and personal goals that the principals wish to achieve.
The Aim of Aligner 20:20
Overall Aligner 20:20 aims to help you to achieve a 20% growth in sales and a 20% reduction in relative costs (unit costs) or other percentages agreed between you and your Facilitator, during the period of the contract (normally 12 to 18 months). As your Facilitator, we will be responsible for providing you with clear analysis and guidance that will enable you to build your Business Growth Programme (BGP) and then supporting you to achieve your goals. You are responsible for carrying out the clear action plans that form part of your BGP.
