Ken has a natural ability
to see
problems, alternatives and
opportunities
in businesses. He has a
professional
quality and is able to
relate to
people at every level in a
company.
Ken has had the following
experience:
- Turned a supermarket and
butchery
business which had been
running
at a loss for 3 years into
a profit,
covering all previous
accumulated
losses in the first year.
In the
second year the company
was able
to repay almost all of the
original
loan capital used to set
up the
business.
- Turned a department,
which was
classified as a cost
centre, into
the most profitable
department
in the company, in the
largest
computer bureau in New
Zealand.
- Worked as a consultant
and provided
training in many companies
in the
UK since 1989, including
Visa International
(17 projects), Stirling
Software,
Galileo International,
Scottish
Widows, and the London
Stock Exchange.
- Had the unique
experience of
reviewing many companies
operations,
primarily with a view to
an efficient
web presence. Some of
these companies
have become very
successful with
an average of 1500 users
visiting
the clients website every
day.
The advice and
recommendations
however have extended
beyond the
pure implementation of a
website.
- Ken grew up in a
business environment
with his parents owning a
very
large Ford franchise (in
the top
10 in South Africa) and
Shell petrol
station (largest forecourt
in South
Africa) of which he had a
12.5%
shareholding from the age
of 13.
Ken took an active part in
running
the business and at age 13
Ken
was responsible for
cycling 2 miles
to the garage and doing
the cashing
up in the morning and
evening on
weekends. He was included
in all
director meetings and
contributed
much to the expansion of
the business.
This garage business was
expanded
to an additional 2 garages
in neighbouring
towns.
- Developed and managed a
software
project for Stirling
Software which
sold world wide, earning
the company
in excess of US$12 million
revenue.
The success of the project
was
mostly due to viewing the
development
from a business and
profitability
point of view.
- Worked in a Time
Management department
in a large factory for a
brief
3 months before going to
University
and during this period
made a number
of recommendations to
management
which were subsequently
implemented,
saving the company
hundreds of
thousands over the years
to come.
Ken has the following
attributes:
- Highly analytical mind.
- A wide experience of
business
in different sectors.
- The ability to
understand the
operations of any business
and
view these from many
angles for
optimum results.
- The ability to
communicate with
people of every level.
- The ability to see the
big picture
with an out-of-the-box
view.
- The ability to see where
computerisation
can or won’t make a
difference.
- Honesty and openness,
telling
it as it is.
- Excellent negotiation
skills.
- Unbounded enthusiasm for
the
task at hand.
- Ken has been interested
in business
and the running of them
for virtually
all his life.
Ken has the unique ability
of walking
into a business and very
quickly
saying whether the business,
if it
continues like it is, will
be closed
down and approximately when.
Ken
is only surprised by the
length of
time it has taken for some
of them
to close their doors, and
probably
at great cost to the
owners/share
holders personal wealth.
These have
included many small
businesses through
to some very large
businesses, one
of which was
Courts. For that Ken feels
to some
degree, guilty for not
offering his
services where he knew he
could have
made a difference.
The fixes can be simple to
implement
and with minimal costs.
What we can do for
your
business?
Ken can offer a fresh
outside-the-box
view for your business and
its operation
whether you're in the life
insurance
business, the food business or any other business,
with a view to increasing the
profits
of the company and making
changes
were changes are required.
Ken is
a person who faces the facts
with
cold calculation and who is
not afraid
to step in where needed and
assist
managers and owners achieve
their
goals.
At Edge Impact we take
great pride
in everything we do. We
offer a Free
Initial Consultation.
The
details of the service can
be discussed
in the first meeting.
