accommodate what is needed, either within or outside your business. Sometimes transformational change might be small steps towards an end game.
NB: I’ve listened to everybody here talking about their businesses and how are they changing. As a college we have to go with them, we have to listen, we have to engage and collaborate.
Businesses are changing so we have to get our young people coming out of college with the right skills. Skills are changing constantly, and we have to change. We have to adapt. The intent as a college is linked to businesses.
If we evolve as a business, evolve personally, evolve our
skillsets, it automatically creates a process of transformation
CG: You might have a transformation plan or project but it doesn’t mean to say that every activity comes good. Transformation is a route for improvement but you might put something into effect and not achieve the improvement that you’ve set out to achieve, so you have to change it and transform again.
RG: It’s about having buoyancy. Covid has taught us to have buoyancy in business so you can respond to situations because if you can’t respond to the situation you can’t be agile as a business.
Rob Hallam
What transformations have you delivered within your business or organisation?
DW: Coming out of Covid it’s all been about how we capitalise on the opportunity that’s around and create an infrastructure within a team. We now have four management people creating the structure and the processes. I’ve had to change how I lead. Previously, I might bulldoze in the office and make change happen instantly. I can’t do that anymore, there’s a structure to think about, there’s a process, it’s a management decision.
It is impossible to scale a business without having that infrastructure in place. We’ve got very big ambitions - we’ve broken the ceiling on a seven-figure turnover and that was our first goal. The next goal is to accelerate that and the only way we can do that is if we have that structure in place.
RH: We’ve become more than a video production company, we’re communication specialists. The pandemic saw people come to us to help solve their problems. They might have had a summer conference with 1,000 people attending and they’d ask us what they could do.
