The PROPEL Principles: A Simple Way to Strengthen Purpose, People, Process & Planning

12.30pm – 12.50pm

Seminar Description

Running a business can feel overwhelming — shifting priorities, fast growth and a team not always pulling in the same direction. In this Biz Fest SW session, Terry Neild from PROPEL Business Consultancy shares practical ways to create clarity, alignment and momentum. Using the PROPEL Framework, he’ll help leaders understand strengths, spot friction and focus effort. You’ll explore the stages of Discovery, Ignite, Accelerate and Future Proof and leave with simple self‑assessment tools and clear next steps.
