Assessing Business, Setting Directions

http://www.vsapac.com/

One of the basic rules of consulting or business advisory is to have the ability to listen and organise information in the quickest way possible.

Business clients tend to provide “big picture” strategies in all directions, and we have to ensure that the information rendered is organised and segmented into different categories such as a) business conditions b) strategic priorities c) company structure issues d) business model positioning.

Failure to understand and compartmentalise information would mean failed or incomplete diagnosis – which then gives rise to flawed prescriptions or solutions. If implemented, these would lead the business to head the wrong direction through wrong implementation.

Whether you are an entrepreneur or advising entrepreneurs, it is important that you don’t provide superficial advice. We have observed that most consultants or business advisors have the following weaknesses, no matter how matured or experienced they are:

• Concluding too early
• Imposing self-experience to other businesses in a bid to impress, which may be fundamentally different to the entrepreneur’s settings
• Not focusing on the right critical issues i.e. not what the client wants or needs
• Giving generic, theoretical advice without customising to their setting
• Expect clients “to pay first, then get advice” – without showing value
• Weak technical fundamentals – not being able to link strategies and financial outcome; and spending time about what’s the right thing to do, what needs to be done, but wouldn’t be able to explain how it’s to be done and what’s the targeted financial outcome
• Failure to take notes or synthesise information into a single implementation framework
• Not able to communicate clearly through use of diagrams and flowcharts that brings all the points together: both business information and advice rendered
At Vector Scorecard (Asia-Pacific), we have successfully developed a business diagnostic methodology that comes with a diagnostic toolkit and a comprehensive trainer’s manual on how to do a good preliminary analysis of a business situation. Using decision tree and mind-maps that can be customised in numerous business scenarios and industries, BASNEVA ensures that you have what it takes to handle business situations and act upon them.

BASNEVA methodology adopts a lateral thinking approach with speed in mind – and trains you to be focused, disciplined and unbiased in your assessment of business settings. As a result, you can prescribe higher quality solutions with identified markers for implementation in various phases.

BASNEVA has been successfully applied to more than 3,000 SMEs in ASEAN and has significantly aided policy makers and SME champions to do the right thing - LISTEN.

Widening Market Share through International Business Opportunities

Rise in demand in worldwide procurements, combined with the immense growth of commercialization all around has been instrumental in development of numerous business websites dealing with international tenders.

http://www.vsapac.com/

The basic premise of such tenders are that the company inviting the tenders will give all the information about the work concerned, and their overall requirements. Similarly, the service provider should give their background history and assessment of experiences on the issue. Competitive nature of the tenders makes it imperative that the bidder is able to create a strong impression on the inviting company for winning the tender.

Inviting company should make it a point to specify the points that will count in awarding the tender to any bidder. Usual features of such requirements are stipulated time period, structure of the proposal, and making a good impact on the minds of the clients. In addition, it is also required to have total pricing relating to project completions. Mentioning the prices will enable the bidder company to decide how best they can go for the tasks to be accomplished in case of winning the international tenders.

International tenders come in different types, values, and features. Such tenders could be on any item one can conceive of. These tenders cater to almost all types of requirements of the organizations, government or even private enterprises. Apart from the products, these tenders could relate to multiple types of services that include life insurance, survey services, hotel services, logistics, and many such others.

Because of the vast opportunities in international tenders, we created O-tenders. O-tenders is an integrated platform developed by leading economic development agency, Vector Scorecard (Asia-Pac) to help you secure worldwide tenders based on your companies’ competencies and product offerings. Within this platform, o-tenders enables clients to be kept abreast of the most updated developments on various business activities all over the world - and latest information and tenders for clients.

O-tenders provides you with more than USD1bn of opportunities each month and diversify your business internationally.

New opportunities, new partnerships!

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the inaugural blogspot edition of the Asia Business Corridor (ABC).

ABC is as simple as it sounds but carries a meaningful focus. This is a platform for opportunities, knowledge, cultural exchange and philanthrophic activities.

ABC is a useful platform for government agencies, NGOs, SMEs and budding entrepreneurs - and is more than a blog or portal. We have an integrated suite of off-line advisory helpdesks, systems to assess market risks, business roadmapping for international plans and training courses for those who dare to venture abroad.

When you want to explore business opportunities in the region, you need to have a lot of information, contacts, guidance, toolkits and a good understanding of the foreign markets.

Most importantly, you need to have a good sense of your current situation and your business priorities - so that the information that you obtain can be customised to suit your circumstances.

For November's issue, we would like to cover the following key themes:

1) what credit guarantee means for government agencies
2) tender opportunities in the international market, particularly in the areas of infrastructure/construction, IT and services.
3) top issues for SMEs in the region and what it means for 2011
4) consulting opportunities for subject matter experts in the region
5) calling all business people to help the needy! Paying it forward...

So enjoy surfing - and power to the business people!


Regards
Editor-ABC
