The Productivity Programme gives you the tools, energy, confidence and connections to tackle your biggest business challenges. You’ll get six months of personalised mentoring and advisory board support, and the inspiration to take control of your company’s future.
Be the Business has one goal: to solve Britain's productivity problem. And we want you to get involved.
Since 2017, we’ve helped British small business leaders increase productivity by over £500m.
We connect you with experts ready to roll up their sleeves and spot ways to boost your productivity. 44% of small businesses we support see turnover rise after our programmes. And 80% have made significant changes with our help.
Now it’s your turn.
How does it work?
Your own advisory board for six months
Learn from the real-world experience of some of the UK’s smartest business brains: senior figures from top companies, independent consultants and respected retirees.
In four 90-minute meetings, they’ll unpack your challenges and share expertise on finance, marketing, operations, sales and HR. We’ll take care of the admin, so you can plan your next moves.
1-to-1 mentoring sessions
Work directly with a member of your advisory board. Ask all the difficult questions and hone the skills you need for success.
As you dig into your business strengths and weaknesses, you’ll want deeper advice on specific challenges. These sessions let you get into the details and tackle them head-on.
Online peer sessions
Compare notes, share successes and explore ideas around productivity with peers and guest experts.
Learn from small business leaders facing similar challenges and grow your network in our regular interactive meets.
You’ll also have access to our ‘Get Ready’ tools:
-
A 360 assessment to complete with your team to help identify improvement areas
-
An online learning module focused on getting the most from your board
-
A business balanced scorecard tool, to capture and share your objectives and progress
