Welcome again to this month's rolling Q&A. We will take questions throughout the remainder of the week or so, and then some as realistically this post is a little behind schedule.
Just catching up?
We’ve updated the About page to give a better sense of, well, what we’re about and how best to get value out of us.
Last month we also opened discussions about how to transition to your own consulting endeavors which included a deeper dive a recap of our (hard fought and hard won) comedy of errors. Ideally there’s something there you can learn from.
Up on the release schedule for this month is our own Operations Reading List - or rather The List for Reading and Then Taking Action which surprisingly took us to some interesting places when we wrote some of the supporting commentary around it.
As always if there are specific themes or challenges you would like us to discuss please feel free to raise them.
Introduction
Here's a broad list of where we feel our expertise sits:
Recruitment (and how best to use external recruiters),
Remote work and managing remote teams
Outsourcing and managing outsourced teams and freelancers (APAC focus)
Time management (a recap + a few more Au techniques)
Time management and processes for sales & sales roles
Managing stakeholders in family business' (carry the donkey)
Having said that if we'll always take a look and if something is outside our wheelhouse we'll do our best to refer out to another BowTied or somewhere that can assist you.
As always if you'd prefer to submit (more) anonymously, you can reach us via
