Why businessfourzero?
Our purpose
Commonly unites us
A shared belief it is both a commercial and spiritual waste to have people feeling like ‘cogs in machines’ where we help to transform them into people who are clear, committed emotionally (as well as rationally) in what they do every day
Impact obsessed
We’re obsessed with outcomes, and great impact
At it’s best, this makes our work exhilarating and incredibly high standard although at it’s worst it can feel hard and tough and we appreciate this isn't right for everyone.
Team based
We do all our consulting work in teams, not as individuals
Connection is highly valued – and we create space and time for this
Flexibility and Trust (but is both needed/expected both ways)
High flexibility and trust to deliver the outcome
So long as that is clear, and what the team needs is taking care of, lots of flexibility is given i.e. we're less concerned about start/finish times etc.
Lots of flexibility and autonomy - but what we can’t promise is every day will be the same start/finish time
We genuinely care about sustainable elite performance
Our performance bar is high which sometimes requires a level of resilience
