Blue Oyster Business Growth is born out of a passion to help others, married to over thirty years experience spread across blue chip FTSE corporates and start ups hungry to grow and make their mark.
Here are twelve things we believe with a passion:
- A committed team of inter-disciplinary talents can change the world
- Philanthropy is for all, giving those less successful a hand up
- Innovation is the life blood of economic health
- Trust is built on consistency, transparency and proving value
- Everyone has talent, and employers must start harnessing this
- That we build via successful, sharing partnerships, not ownership
- Leaders have to recognise that finance is a means, not an end
- Leaders have a moral responsibility to employ and develop teams
- A clear structure is vital when communicating purpose
- Solid well-understood process is vital to delivering consistency
- A smoothly working process out-performs a histrionic performance
- We must always remember that none of us know what we don’t know
And here we’d like to thank Simon Sinek and his great TED talk for explaining so clearly how we are best able to connect with our audiences.
A Short History
Peter Jones, Managing Director, started his own career in IT and then, recognising the importance of the business imperative, he spread his wings further to business analysis and project management.
Later, with the advent of social networking, Peter saw the potential in networking businesses together, and began to build his own business network from scratch in 2003.
Today Blue Oyster Business Growth is a recognised player in the business network arena, both in Central London, and locally in NW London and Hertfordshire, with over 1,000 national and global business contacts to call on for most types of project work.
UK Projects in the 21st Century
We firmly believe the 21st century will bring continue to bring tools and techniques that allow us to bring out more of our individual qualities, skills and experience. This dynamic environment will allow practice leaders to emerge and gain the recognition of their peers within local business networks that really deliver value and service.
At the time of writing, in 2013, the UK has been “flatlining” for some 6 years, with no macro plan to inspire or encourage UK businesses.
And yet BOBG can identify at least ten significant UK projects, some of which are serious issues or opportunities that can be addressed. With the right collaboration, some significant change can be delivered, with potential impact beyond national boundaries.
