I love my friends who are business advisors. They really just want to help business owners do better business - but when they teach them how to 'project', they are really teaching them how to 'predict', and the real value they provide is TEAM.<br /><br />Without reference to industry specifics they rely on personality assessments (DISC etc) and generalised SME tools (some of which I've created and used in consults). Honestly, it's not the analyses or fancy regression/projection models, it's the 'in the trenches' predictions and local strategies that make all the difference.<br /><br />Most of all, it's bringing a counsel environment to what are often lonely entrepreneurs. #teams definitely create prickly moments, but they are more effective in the end.<br /><br />#bettertogether<br /><br />Full podcast espisode on predictions vs projections available here: <a href="https://www.discernable.io/podcast/episode/226d3247/6-find-your-strength-uncertainty-or-risk" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.discernable.io/podcast/episode/226d3247/6-find-your-strength-uncertainty-or-risk</a><br />...<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBdnfi1nLOM" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBdnfi1nLOM</a>
