Specialist SME Business Coaching
Our specialist accelerator business coaching and mentoring mission objective is simple, to bring our services, expertise and experience to help you and your organisation achieve its fullest potential; enhance productivity and performance; and provide bespoke and tailored coaching and mentoring support for you and your team.
Our business coaching and mentoring is centred around three key mission objective pillars:
Firstly, to support owners and senior leadership teams to achieve their full potential; overcome barriers to innovation, growth and development; and deliver high performance leadership, cultures and operational excellence.
Secondly, to providing an operational mission assurance framework, providing the specialist multidisciplinary expertise and experience to develop commercially focused, high-performance cultures and organisational excellence, so engineering success.
Thirdly, to provide owners and senior leadership teams with the time and space to be able to reflect and focus on key areas such as strategic and transformational agendas, networking and business development.
Our Accelerator services take a SMARTER*, intelligent and ecosystem approach; and provide clients with a through life, end to end, portfolio of services; from initial conceptualization and business planning, to exit strategies.
We have a particular interest in working with and supporting ambitious, high and accelerated growth firms; as well as tech firms and those in niche and unusual areas.

SME Executive Coaching
Every leader needs both professional and personal support from time to time, even if it is only to be able to discretely, confidentially, openly and honestly talk to a third-party peer to discuss and sound out a new role, or organisational strategies, ideas, challenges and issues.
Our specialist SME and family’s firm’s executive coaching and mentoring services are all about maximising value and impact, and building trusted personal and professional relationships, hopefully for the long-term.
Our elite group of executive coaches and mentors bring to clients internationally exceptional added value expertise and experience in two key areas.
Firstly, they have a wealth of senior level, multidisciplinary and multi environmental strategic, transformational and operational ‘C’ suite and senior level leadership experience and expertise, garnered across multidisciplinary fields; and government, military and blue-chip corporate environments.
Secondly, they have dedicated specialist SME experience, having successfully established, developed and led SME’s; as well as having learnt the sometimes-harsh lessons associated with failure and successfully rebuilding.
We offer a unique mix of coaching and mentoring, which includes:
- Access to a single executive coach
- Access to a small team of specialists
- Access to simultaneous executive coaching and a mentor or mentoring group
Benchmarking and Health Checks
As part of our specialist SME and family firms’ business coaching and mentoring services, we offer clients a business benchmarking and organisational health assessment.
Designed to take a SMARTER*, intelligent and holistic perspective, our proprietary HIVE* framework analyses and then makes recommendations as to how to enhance organisational cultures and performance.
Designed specifically for SME and family firms, the business benchmarking and organisational health assessment is also suitable for larger organisations.
Across seven organisational areas, we analyse current organisational culture and performance, benchmarking them against best and leading-edge practice; then developing a strategic, transformational and operational plan to bridge any gaps and enhance performance.

COMMERCIALISING INNOVATION AND DISRUPTION
We are unequivocal supporters of constructive innovation and disruption and of the successful commercialisation of that innovation.
To that end, we bring to technical and innovative start-ups, SME’s and existing firms specialist expertise and experience in supporting the commercialisation of innovation and technology.
Through a combination of the integrated capability of The GENCOM Group and our specialist business coaching and mentoring suite of services, we endeavour to create a ecosystem in which such firms can effectively bridge the gaps from innovation to market.
Key to our approach is taking a life cycle management approach, working with clients as early as possible, ideally from conceptualisation and design, to imbue an entrepreneurial and commercial mindset and organisational culture; balancing technical and commercial objectives; and accelerating research, design, development and production, so achieving a commercial readiness platform in as quickly as possible, upon which iterative developments can be founded.
Critical building blocks within this SMARTER*, intelligent commercial approach include:
- Adding value
- Business intelligence, insight and analysis
- Identifying opportunities for growth
- Intellectual property
- Procurement and supply chains
- strategic marketing and communications
- Strategic planning
We also take an inverted analysis approach, endeavouring to target products to client requirements and real issues and challenges, which can then be iteratively developed and scaled.
So, if you are an SME innovation and technology firm seeking support in commercialising your ideas, then why not speak to us and see how we can bring our expertise and experience to serve and support you.
