Start with What Works helps you to create new growth opportunities using the resources you already have at hand. It sounds obvious but frequently, managers discount the value of their familiar resources, and instead, they look outside for something new. This can demotivate employees and be costly in terms of money and time. It’s often a lot quicker, cheaper and safer to see your existing resources with fresh eyes. This book shows you how to recognise overlooked potential in existing resources, and how to flip the right switches to activate that potential.

Covering nine lessons you can use for a variety of situations, each will feature a case study and a new mindset to adopt. With practical tools and templates, each will trigger fruitful discussions and insights for your organisation. You’ll learn how to apply them to the situations you face, so that you can identify new opportunities, and turn those opportunities into action.

This book is based on working with thousands of business professionals and entrepreneurs both nationally and internationally. Its step-by-step approach can be taught and developed in a variety of contexts and across a range of experience and settings. Andy Bass of Bass Clusker and Helga Henry of Creative Shift can work with you and your team to bring all the benefits of a highly connected, highly leveraged and focussed network to your business.
