Many beef business owners are looking to grow and expand their business. Many also want to create a more professional business which can run effectively without needing their constant input.

To do this, they are looking for support in these areas:

• making a business attractive for investment (including from the bank)
• creating a higher value product
• managing financial performance and maximising return on investment
• getting the most out of people (staff, family)
• articulating and delivering a strong succession (or business transition) strategy
• getting everyone on the same page, working together to achieve consistent results.

Creating a high performing business can be challenging. Many people feel frustrated because they can’t find the practical ‘how-to’ strategies, or they can’t find the time to start making changes.

The Beef Business Management Program

The Beef Business Management Program is designed to support you to create a well-rounded and highly effective beef business, which is structured to achieve your personal and business goals.

It builds on other programs that are available for the beef industry such as Business EDGE and Grazing BMP.

The program features a combination of group workshop and personal business mentoring sessions as well as group catch-ups via teleconferences and webinars, with topics built around the ABDI 12 Pillars of Business Practice.

In the program, you will:

• Learn from business specialists who have been there before
• Connect with a group of like-minded business owners, who face similar challenges
• Work with your personal business mentor to start making necessary changes.

The outcome for participating businesses is to get clear on what is required to take their business to the next level, develop a clear game plan about how to make it happen and then start making the changes.

The next intake for the Beef Business Management Program is 2-4 August 2017.
