Ballyhoo used the programme as a sounding board, restructured and delegated, and gained space to think strategically away from day-to-day operations.
Ballyhoo is a web development business providing a comprehensive portfolio of service to SMEs through to larger enterprises and public sector clients. The business was established in 2009, is based in the Innovation Centre, Longbridge Technology Park, Birmingham, and employs 5 members of staff.
Prior to accessing The TRANSFORMATION Project, the business had searched for support and funding, but had managed to find neither which suited their needs. Ballyhoo received details about The TRANSFORMATION Project via email and was not looking for formal management training but more a reassurance that they were 'doing the right things', and some advice to help the Managing Director withdraw from day-to-day operations.
The main 'activity' with the business engagement manager has been to give the co-owners time away from the business, giving them time to think – and in particular challenging them to think more – about stepping away from day-to-day operations. The focus in discussions has very much been on the strategic aspects of the business.
World-leading ideas and innovation, founded on engaged scholarship, from research to application.
