Strategic Business Units (SBUs) Of Larger Firms

what do we mean by sbu's?

An SBU (Strategic Business Unit) is a relatively independent part of a larger business and as such it tends to display many of the characteristics of the standard entrepreneurial businesses we usually work with. Hence we say that we make smaller businesses more business-like and we make larger businesses more nimble.

Typically, an SBU is a division, or a discreet part of, the main business but it has relative autonomy and gains greatly from developing an entrepreneurial mindset, while seeing the 'mothership' as the banker!

SBUs we have worked in have included:

• HSBC
• Mortgage Express
• Peugeot
• Post Office Counters
• Royal Mail
• UfI/LearnDirect
• Virgin

In essence, we take our entrepreneurial toolkit and apply it to the SBU business environment - we take the best thinking in entrepreneurship and combine it with the benefits of the larger organisation to create a really powerful combination!

what makes us different?

• We run our own business and all our associates and staff have worked in and helped to grow independent businesses into medium-sized business
• Clients - the type of businesses that work with The Directors' Centre
• Case studies - how businesses have been helped
• 'Ology' - how we do things
• Testimonials - what our clients say
• Reputation - what others say
• Brand - what we stand for.

what we are about is simple...

... to help companies as they face the challenges of growth... as experts on business growth, to help you to develop and implement strategies and processes that focus on your customers and your profitability.
