MANAGEMENT WORKSHOPS

Why would I want to pull my managers out of their job a few days a year to educate them?

Long term business success is dependent on a balance of creative management thinking and time tested fundamentals – yet most of us never seem to find time to think, let alone creatively!

Most managers do not take any time out to work ‘on the business’ – rather than ‘in the business’ – even though doing so is critical to the future planning, growth and development of the business.

Barmetrix Management Workshops provide an opportunity for management to focus as a team on the important issues – such as driving productivity, or improving marketing/HR systems, etc.

Additionally, the training days become a great opportunity to refresh and motivate the management team (who often spend much time motivating their staff and then forget about their own development!).

Barmetrix Management Workshops bring together a unique mix of top industry speakers combined with a strong personal development message. Owners and group managers are delighted as they watch their management return to their business, fired-up with new ideas and bursting with enthusiasm – ready to make the business roar!

Is this a course for owners/GMs or all staff?

Owners, GMs and all those with the greatest influence over the business should always be the first to sign up for the Management Workshops – as all change starts from the top.

But ultimately, all levels of management will benefit from attending a Barmetrix Management Workshop– which is why we encourage each venue to attend in teams. There is a strong benefit to be had from bringing a range of management (junior to senior) and seeing what ideas/thoughts spring from the various individuals as the curriculum is presented.

Having younger, newer managers present with more senior managers means that everyone is on the same page and strategies can be progressed without leaving a key stakeholder out of the mix – plus it creates a healthy mentoring environment!

Our managers have 10 years experience, what more could they learn?

It doesn’t matter if your managers have 1 or 100 years experience – if you don't have a clear commitment to continuous learning then you are losing a competitive edge.

Barmetrix Workshop attendees have hospitality management experience ranging from 2 weeks to 40 years – and we’ve yet to hear of someone leaving without having learned something new. Sometimes the value for managers is simply to have long lost knowledge refreshed and brought back into focus – as it can be all too easy to let the day to day detail of managing a business cloud what’s really important.

The key to creating a healthy, thriving business is great management – and no matter how much experience a manager may have, if he or she is not enthusiastically hunting for new information and ideas to improve themselves and your business – then they (and your profits) are likely treading water.

Remember – if you are not growing, you are stagnating – and the same applies to your knowledge and ideas.

We have a solid business plan and a successful bar, why should we attend?

Great! The likelihood is that you are already doing some type of external management training and/or development.

Over the years we have worked with literally hundreds of businesses and thousands of owners/ managers and we’ve noticed one thing very clearly – that the most frequent attendees and biggest supporters of our programs are the MOST SUCCESSFUL businesses!

There is no mystery here – top performers recognize top performers and know that, in order to keep themselves on top of their game, they must continually renew themselves from within. Attending the Barmetrix Management Workshops once a quarter is one of the easiest ways to ensure your team is constantly adapting and evolving to stay ahead of the market.
