Lead What’s Next in the Future of Operations
A live 90-minute workshop for consultants, fractionals, advisors, and leaders who want to understand how to turn the changes in small business into stronger proposals, better retainers, and new opportunities for growth.
📅 When: Tues, Nov 18th at 12pm ET
📍 Location: Live on Zoom (with replay)Â
Things are different this year... and that shift will only accelerate as we move into 2026.
Clients are taking longer to make investment decisions. Proposals that once landed now get delayed or downsized. Expectations have changed, and so has what they’re willing to invest in.
Businesses are operating leaner and prioritizing front-end growth. AI has become part of nearly every discussion, influencing how they plan, hire, and spend.
The approaches that worked in the past aren’t landing the same today.
The future of operations looks different because the future of small business looks different.
And you’re right in the middle of it - helping clients adapt to change while rethinking how your own business evolves to meet it.
If you’re a consultant, fractional, advisor, or leader this workshop will show you what’s shifting, what’s creating new opportunities, and how to position your work for where small business is heading next.
You'll Walk Away With Understanding:
-
The strategic shifts impacting those who partner with small businesses
-
How to turn AI into a strategic asset that increases demand for your work
-
How to package and position your services based on the market of 2026
-
The 3 critical things to focus on to stand out and scale sustainably
