Sustainable Business Success
Our Mission is Your Sustainable Business Success
The tagline in our logo explains our Mission of Your “Sustainable Business Success“, but what does that actually mean?
Sustainable
Sustainable means able to operate indefinitely with a low risk of going backwards. For us, that means an acceptable profit, workload and stress. We offer monitoring and business optimization tools to maintain this state. As a business ratchets up in size, it might reach several sustainable plateaus.
Success
Individual Business Owners will define success differently. Some want to continue to grow. Others have worked hard and now want a better lifestyle rather than just more growth. Some are looking to sell the business and make a good exit that leaves them comfortably off.
12Faces knows that success means different things to different owners. We offer you a choice of advisory options so you can assemble a business that maximizes your personal definition of success.

What Aspects Critical to Your Business does 12Faces Cover?
We group the skills necessary to lead a successful business into 12 categories. That is the origin of our brand name; 12Faces
Six relate to the business. Weaknesses in any of these areas will damage your business (remember the adage “a chain is no stronger than its weakest link”).
- Revenue creation like sales, marketing, pricing, product range
- Operations like workflow, variable costs, inventory
- Overheads like office costs and R&D
- Systems like IT and accounting
- People issues like motivation, hiring and
- Plan & measure, finances, planning and monitoring
The other six relate to you as Owner and your Team. In other words they apply to the individual, not the business as a whole. We offer Continuing Professional Development (CPD) to improve personal skills.
- Decision making skills
- Self management like time management and working efficiently and effectively
- Leadership of and by staff
- Planning to maximise sustainable business success; however success is measured
- Performance measurement to identify weak spots and measure their improvement
- Workflow efficiencies like wasted work, production co-ordination
