What is the Digital for Business initiative?

-
- Reducing administration time
- Improving project or team management
- Time tracking
- Cost management
- Streamlining finance processes
- Increasing online visibility
- Enhancing sales and marketing
This support is 100% free for qualifying businesses.
What happens during the consultancy?
A registered Digital for Business Consultant will
-
- Meet with you (virtually or in person) to understand how your business runs.
- Identify digital tools or systems that could help you such as:
- Time tracking or productivity tools
- Project management software
- Cloud based accounting or proposal apps
- CRM Customer Relationship Management systems or lead management platforms
- AI tools
- Provide a full report with clear recommendations tailored to your specific needs.
This is not generic advice, it is designed to help your specific business run more efficiently. And no, you will not get the same thing from ChatGPT. Tip: When you do engage with your Consultant, which will be FREE to you, it would be optimum to make the best use of their time. To this end, do write up a rough idea of what you want to end up with and what resources you have so far. The more input you give the Consultant the more focused they can be when doing research on your behalf. This is a one time offer, so make the most of it.
