What is the Values-Based Business Growth programme and how can it help my organisation?
The Values-Based Business Growth programme is a series of three interactive workshops that has already successfully supported business owners and leaders to evaluate and align their approach to values and assess the extent to which the company is living those values through behaviours and actions with company values. This enables them to set out of the operations and act more strategically – enabling growth.
Starting with a ‘Discovery’ phase, we explore the actual values of the business owner, leaders and the business itself – and validate that these are actually the values that matter! Moving on, we ‘Align’ the business, and its teams with these values to help shape behaviours, policies and actions. Finally, we review the impact on the business in terms of recruitment, sales, customer satisfaction and other valuable metrics.
Pricing
Our programme goes beyond simply coaching business leaders in the tactical approaches to recruitment, process improvement, management and leadership – it uses a values-based approach to equip businesses with a sustainable way to grow and use values as the core decision-making tool across all business processes and functions. This allows the founder to step back from operations and see the business grow.
All three stages; Discovery, Alignment & Impact for one straightforward fee. Instalment payments available.
Price: £5,800.00 +VAT*

Sign-upWhy Values, and not ‘Culture’?
There is much discussion in the business press and in business-oriented social media and social media posts about the importance of ‘culture’; but culture is a by-product of values, and values drive the way in which a business operates. So this is where we start. For small businesses, the values are frequently driven by the owner – but not well articulated. This is how we help – to get to the ‘Why?’.
Testimonial
Dunns Bakery, a 200-year-old family run firm found that because of the workshops,
‘…future recruitment will be based on skills, knowledge and behaviours that reflect Dunn’s Bakery values, and a stronger learning and development culture. Lewis [the current owner] commented that having the expertise from Gareth has been so valuable to give his team leaders and him the confidence to encourage structural changes to the
way they work, and address challenges together, with a values-based approach for looking at the way in which they carry out tasks.’
Discovery
Business Owner / Leaders – 3 hours (face-to-face)
The first workshop consists of an initial ‘Values Alignment’ exercise with the business owner / leaders and takes the form of an interactive workshop where we discuss the values of the business, explore how these are lived by the business and the extent to which values drive behaviours, decisions, processes and investment.
These values are then associated with job roles and tasks, so it is possible to understand how all members of the organisation are contributing to the values of the organisation. This exercise also highlights where there are values mismatches. The next session is where these can be tested.
Alignment
Select colleagues, Business Owner / Leaders – 4 hours (face-to-face)
In this workshop we will explore and align the values through a series of activities:
1. Discuss the values of the business and relate these to business behaviours.
2. Complete a simple problem-solving exercise to highlight the importance of effective communication.
3. Explore opportunities for business improvement and customer acquisition in line with the values.
4. Review core business processes and assess whether they contribute to, or detract from, the values of the company.
Impact
Business Owner / Leaders – 1.5 hours
Business owner / leaders are invited to a follow-up online workshop to
discuss the outcomes from the workshop, action plans, successes and the ongoing strategy.
The aim is to ensure that the values agreed remain valid; that they are moving toward being aligned to business processes and that there is evidence of positive impact.
GPC Skills is committed to making a positive impact with the companies we work with, so this session is highly valuable to ensure that the business has benefitted from the programme, and an opportunity to explore the next set of actions.
