BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLANNING: DON’T JUST SURVIVE, THRIVE
Business continuity is on every owner’s and manager’s mind right now. And rightly so, but there are some companies which have actually grown stronger during past crises – and some which are growing stronger even now.
Having been through four previous recessions, I have studied the businesses which not only survive in adversity, but thrive. As a business and franchise consultant, I offer you the benefit of my experience, insights and innovations to help your business do the same.
This programme is eligible for COVID-19 full funding.
Methodology
I offer my one-on-one Covid-19 advisory services to help business owners and managers to:
- review the current position of your business, including its strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities, to identify the business’s continuity needs
- apply the above analysis to an action plan for the immediate management of cashflow, finance, human resources, customer and supplier relationships, systems and technology during this turbulent time
- explore the possibilities for increasing productivity, cost efficiencies and relationship development through technology, systemisation and other resources
- look ahead to potential future scenarios and evaluating how the business may adapt, pivot or innovate to ensure its business model, products or services and resources meet the needs of new or changed markets in the post-Covid world
- build your confidence and capabilities by developing a clear direction and tactics for both navigating Covid-19 and coming out stronger on the other side
Format
Face to face meetings if you are based in Auckland, otherwise via Zoom. You will need to have access to your business’s key performance indicators (KPIs), including recent sales and profitability data. Notes will be taken and an action plan agreed from each meeting. Meetings will be held weekly or twice weekly for up to 1 hour per session, depending on your business requirements, for up to 4 weeks, including correspondence between sessions.
Price
The services will be provided at a rate of $200 + GST per hour, dependent on your business needs to a maximum of 10 hours.

Your Business Advisor
My name is Robin La Pere. I bring many years of experience and expertise in management, marketing and franchising. Unlike many consultants, I’ve run businesses and franchises, led teams, launched new products and services, and started and grown my own businesses and franchises. Which means I understand exactly what you’re going through as a business owner or franchisor.
My business advisory services have been approved under the New Zealand Government's Covid-19 Support scheme. Which means if you're a business owner or manager and need some help – and who doesn't in these troubled times? – you may be entitled to a grant for full funding.
What my clients say about me
"Robin had a significant and positive impact on Signature Homes as a whole, as evidenced by the fact that our business became one of the fastest growing businesses in New Zealand, winning a Deloittes Fast 50 Business Award, seeing total sales soar by more than 500% over a five-year period, and assisting to establish Signature Homes as a leader in the New Zealand housing industry.
"Such was Robin’s commitment to and impact on the business that he became more than just a consultant to, but as much a trusted ‘partner’ in, the business’s development."
Gavin Hunt, Owner, Signature Homes
[My note: I later helped Signature Homes win four awards in the 2016/17 New Zealand Franchise Awards, including the Supreme Franchise Award.]
