SHOW BUSINESS: A belated introduction.

A few years ago, I shifted from full-time work to contracting, managing operations (i.e., back-of-house) support for independent brands and studios under the banner of SHOW BUSINESS.

Coming from General Management roles where I had oversight across all departments, I wanted to focus on the mechanics of how an enterprise is designed and run, and tailor my field of work in this direction while having flexibility with my time and a variety of clients and projects.

Partly because it got underway organically and I reached capacity soon after it started, and partly because in the early days I was still working out exactly what it was, as my service offer was quite broad and centered on range and versatility. Wide and adaptable in scope but hard to articulate concisely.

Since then, I have thought a lot about how to distill my service offer into an easy-to-understand format. Add to that–I’ve tried and tested, consolidated and simplified, based on what I’ve found works best.

What I came up with is a methodology based on components that identify, plan and deliver work. These are frameworks, workflows, tools and templates. Within these brackets are specific actions that support the development process of goods and services from concept to market.

The result is a kind of modular service menu where clients can select one or more items to focus on per the pace, scale, goals and level of support they feel are most impactful.

If what’s on the services docket feels right for you, the next step is to tee up a free, no-obligation conversation so I can understand what you need a hand with and share how I may be able to help. And if you’re unsure or have questions, a conversation is always welcome. I love hearing from people and am happy to make recommendations or be helpful in whatever way I can.

EMAIL me to tee up a chat.
