It fits in with their busy schedules, it gives them what they need at that moment, it helps them with the ideas and supports them through the implementation It is often reported that SMEs fail due to the lack of strategy (or ability to execute it), market research, marketing or knowledge and skills. However, in our experience the one thing lacking for most SMEs is time to develop these things. We give them that time - it's as if they had an extra hour in the day (25) and day in the week (8) Small to medium-sized businesses (SMEs) are the backbone of local communities; providing opportunities for meaningful work, fostering local economies and account for 60-70% of jobs in most OECD countries.
