Summary:
What is DICE Business?
The word DICE is an acronym for our values, which reflect the work we do with our business leader clients: Develop, Inspire, Create, Embed.
- We help them DEVELOP a game plan – getting clear on their vision and strategy for the future
- We INSPIRE their team spirit – embedding the values, behaviours and culture that will stand them apart from their competition
- We CREATE their team players and arm them with the leadership skills they need to play their best game
- We EMBED a winning mindset and ensure there is a legacy in a business long after our work together ends
After several years working in the Small and Medium-sized Enterprise space, we know that leaders are perpetually trapped in the day to day running of their business.
They are constantly juggling cashflow with client/customer demands, employee issues (too many, not enough, skillset v’s mindset), business development, marketing, operational challenges – the ‘to do’ list is endless.
We help leaders to raise their heads and realise their ambitions, whether that is to grow their business in terms of people and profit; succession planning to free them up and develop their next tier of leaders; or creating a strategy and driving accountability at all levels to help them to deliver a vision for the future.
We deliver in a hybrid way with a mixture of in-person and online sessions, tailored to the needs of the client.
The fallout of Covid-19 has seen business leaders having to rapidly implement change, develop new ways of working, bring in unfamiliar technologies and in some cases have a higher turnover of employees. DICE has tried and tested methodologies which help address these challenges. There are five principal programmes/packages that all DICE Franchisees are trained in, which are as follows:
| Package | Details |
| DICE Game Plan (strategy) | Roll-out of strategy and culture development programmes, senior leadership training and group mastermind mentoring for senior leaders/managers. |
| DICE Team Spirit (culture) | Specific culture/employee engagement programme to embed people-centric approach, two-way communications |
| DICE Team Players (CPD accredited leadership development programme) | Leadership development group training sessions delivered mixture online and in person, focused on putting theory into practice. |
| DICE Coaching (business advisory support) | Trusted Advisor coaching for small business owner(s) to help them stay on-track and give them bespoke guidance. |
| DICE Winning Mindset (mentoring) | Group/Individual mentoring delivered either as part of an existing programme or additional support post-programme delivery. |
There is a wide range of templated materials to accompany the delivery of these programmes/packages which you will have access to from day one.
