In Start With What Works, Andy Bass shows you how to create new growth opportunities by using the resources, people and customers you already have at hand.

"Start With What Works is a gamechanger for those who want to accelerate their business growth with greater inspiration and less risk and frustration."

Nancy MacKay  //  CEO and Founder, MacKay CEO Forums

Don’t start over, start with what works.

It might sound obvious but frequently, managers discount the value of their familiar resources, and instead, are too quick to look outside for something new. They often end up demotivating employees and wasting money and time.

Covering ten lessons you can use for a variety of situations, each features vivid examples and a new mindset to adopt. With practical tools and templates, each will trigger fruitful discussions and insights for your organization.

  • Create growth using existing resources before making risky new investments
  • Recognise overlooked assets and activate their potential
  • Understand why it’s often faster, cheaper and safer to do more with what you have already
  • Flip the right switches to activate that potential.

Helps you see the resources and talents you have already

‘Rather than waiting for a magic bullet, make your organisation better, starting today. Andy helps you see the resources and talents you have already, but just haven’t got around to using properly or fully enough. Even better, the process creates engagement and excitement among employees, because the process honours their expertise and abilities.’
