Små og mellemstore virksomheder og selvstændige

Bogen udkommer ultimo november. Det er svært at lave en forretningsmodel, fordi der er så mange ting at tage hensyn til, og fordi de fleste er usikre på, om de kan. Med denne bog får læseren en meget enkel og let tilgængelig skabelon til at lave en forretningsmodel. Det er en håndbog for nytænkere, banebrydere og rebeller med ambitioner om at trodse forældede forretningsmodeller og designe morgendagens virksomheder. Det er en bog for forretningsmodel-generationen. Bogen er en af de mest omtalte business-bøger inden for de seneste år. Fordi bogen er super brugbar for både store og små virksomheder og også enmandsvirksomheder, og derfor er den faktisk allerede blevet populær i Danmark (på engelsk). Hvordan laver man så en forretningsmodel? Jo, man udfylder et ”strategilærred”, som er en skabelon, med de ting, man skal bruge, og så er man i gang, let og elegant, uanset hvilken forretning man ønsker at lave, eller hvad man arbejder med.

"What's the difference between your competitor and your enemy? You know who your competitors are. You keep tabs on them regularly, and can list them calmly, along with their strengths and weaknesses. But your enemies are a whole other matter. They're the haters and the doubters who said you'd never make it, the ones who stomped on your dreams. When you think about your enemies, you can't stop the strong feelings rising up. In Choose Your Enemies Wisely, Patrick Bet-David shows how to harness emotion to turbocharge your business, dominate this year, and grow for generations after. But first, you need to choose your enemies wisely. Bet-David has spent years perfecting the system that led to the knockout success of his own financial services company. Now, Bet-David shares the secret behind this system: his 12 Business Building Blocks, which will teach you how to seamlessly blend emotion and logic in your business plan. Both a practical document for achieving goals and the fuel needed to fire up yourself and your team, this plan goes beyond the "how" and digs deeper into the "why": not only how you'll get funding, but why you need long-term vision; why you must build a culture that makes employees want to run through walls; why you have to know the enemy you're out to prove wrong. Straightforward and simple, the steps in this book will lead you to move the levers that create exponential growth and lasting success. Read Choose Your Enemies Wisely if you are a visionary, dreamer, and big thinker. Where you are now in your business journey doesn't matter. By following Bet-David's plan, you will set up your business for sustainable success and accomplish your most audacious goals"--

Rådgivning er en kompleks proces, der kræver indsigt i de irrationelle elementer, som ofte opstår under en rådgivning. For at bidrage til en værdiskabende rådgivning har rådgiveren brug for en rådgiverfaglighed, der inkluderer metoder og værktøjer, som rækker ud over rådgiverens faglige ekspertise, og hindrer den enkelte rådgiver i at brænde ud og føle sig professionel ensom.Når bevidstheden bliver skærpet, i forhold til de følelser og bagvedliggende historier der er i spil hos en selv, den rådgivne og mellem de involverede, bliver der åbnet op for nye handlerum og erfaringsudveksling med andre rådgivere.Rådgiverhåndbogen giver dig viden om og værktøjer til:Den psykologiske del af rådgivningsarbejdetEvnen til at positionere sig værdiskabendeVærdiskabende kommunikation og spørgemetodikVurdering og evaluering af rådgivningenRådgiverfaglighedens metoder konkretiseres med afsæt i cases fra rådgivernes hverdag opsamlet og gennemarbejdet af Birgitte Nortvig.Birgitte Nortvig har arbejdet med relationer og kommunikation gennem de sidste 20 år.
