Welcome to our new monthly report: Beyond Better
Business. Issue 3.1 shares the insights of surveyed companies that cited staffing and management among the biggest
challenges they face. We’ve also included a free tool to help you create the kind of workplace where people fight to join and to stay.
What is the value of your people?In just a few months,
we’ll see a rise in the minimum wage for Kiwi workers
from $18.90/hr for adults to $20.00/hr. (Starting out and Training wages for those over 16 years are
just $16/hr.) Survey businesses, and you’ll get some
contentious results: rising minimum wages put undue
pressure on small businesses; it raises the standards
of living; it protects and provides, supporting a
healthier economy from the bottom up.

Your Free Strategic Execution Assessment Tool
Many business owners start their business with an eye towards the future, buoyed by their vision of a business that works for them and grants the freedom of a more balanced lifestyle.
But somewhere in their journey the business takes over - demanding more until that leader finds themselves a weary and frustrated slave to their business, without a path back to control.
It’s a story we have heard from countless clients who came to us looking for a better way. As highly motivated and driven people, most business owners believe they must keep their business moving forward by sheer will power alone. It doesn’t have to be like that.
Implemented by thousands of businesses, our established framework generates proven and effective results by helping you identify which areas of business to improve - and showing you how to make a sustained, coordinated effort towards a brighter future.
Execution is a Habit of Excellence
The Strategic Execution Analysis uses our proprietary framework to evaluate how well businesses have implemented the fundamentals of Strategic Execution - those core execution competencies proven to be the key disciplines that drive extraordinary results.
Business owners, senior leaders and teams can use the analysis to score their company in relation to 44 key fundamentals that drive business performance in the areas of Culture, Strategic Intent, High Performance Leadership and Disciplined Execution.
You will learn what your business is doing right, what it is missing, the areas that need improving the most and ultimately, a framework for improving company performance and profitability.
