Dynamic Businesses

Making your business work for you

Most businesses are started by people with a vision for a product or service. As they achieve success, it takes a more and more elaborate business engine to deliver those products and services. There’s payroll, forecasting, contract negotiation, sales, leases, financing.

Eventually, the engine takes on a life of its own. That means it needs to be taken care of by someone who understands how all the parts fit together. This is quite different from being an expert in the products or services that the business delivers. The best footballer in the league doesn’t need to know how to maintain the pitch.

Concentrate your efforts

When a business reaches this stage, the owner has a choice. Concentrate on the parts of the business where they excel? Or divide their focus and become an expert in maintaining the engine?

Owners who want to concentrate where they’re most needed hire general managers. “General” because they have the skills to troubleshoot and run all or part of a business.

But what if you don’t need a general manager full-time? Maybe your ideal candidate will want to walk into an established role, so you need someone to get the role up and running.

Or perhaps you only know that your business isn’t working the way it should and you don’t know which parts of the engine are broken.

The alternative to hiring a full-time general manager

Dynamic GM is the team to turn to if you want someone to solve problems and lay the tracks for growth, but you’re not ready to hire a full-time general manager. We’re a trusted extra pair of hands: we’ll take on some of your responsibilities while working in your office as part of your team.

We’ve worked in multiple industries and in various business models and growth stages. When you have a Dynamic GM, you have an expert by your side to diagnose and resolve issues, as well as to develop and implement plans to take your business to the next level.

Flexible support
for business owners

The Dynamic in our name means we work flexibly. Need us to do it all? Or just take on a project to fix, smooth or upskill? We can work with you short term (over a maternity leave, for example) or longer term.

There are many ways we can help

Our work is tailored to the unique challenges of your business, but some of the ways we’ve worked with other clients include…

Delegation

As a business owner, you might be reluctant to hand over control to your team if they don’t have the right experience. Even if you enjoy doing it all, you might be overwhelmed with work. Let us uncover the underlying issues and find a solution you’re comfortable with.

Improving business performance

Businesses ebb and flow, but it doesn’t have to be extreme. We’ll even out the performance of your business. When you have consistent revenue, it will be easier to plan for the staff and other resources you’ll need to move your business forward.

Managing a team

Is a particular team underperforming and you’re not sure how to turn things around? We can manage a team for you, including your sales team. We’ll make sure they’re meeting their weekly goals and KPIs.

Outsourcing your accounting function

We can establish then manage your relationships with external providers (including payroll, and accounts payable and receivable). We’ll manage any internal issues as they come up (e.g. missing or incorrect payslips).

Managing Conflict

There’s nothing worse than finding your day turned inside out by staff conflicts. We can handle these for you — finding the root cause, putting in the fix and working with the people involved.

Recruiting for a general manager

We’ll help you grow your business so you’ll have the revenue and cashflow to bring in a permanent general manager. This process can involve defining the role and being part of the initial interviews. Then we can get you ready to onboard your new general manager, facilitating a smooth handover from us to them.

Project Management

You might need support with a one-off project, like a system change, a restructure or a costing analysis. We can come in and ensure the smooth completion of the project.
