Why Firm
Ideas?
In a word - experience!
Denis Kaye is the founder of Firm Ideas. He has thirty years’ experience working with SMEs, professional service firms and not for profit organisations of all sizes, and a proven track record of improving their performance.
He holds a portfolio of non-executive directorships, provides mentoring services and provides advisory services to private companies and professional partnerships. He is also deputy chairman of the Institute of Directors in Yorkshire.
He is a chartered accountant and has worked in both the UK and Canada. Denis developed the Yorkshire office of a national accounting firm, of which he was national marketing partner and then regional managing partner. He then led a management buy-out and subsequently merged his firm into a regional firm which became the largest regional accounting firm in Yorkshire before he left in 2003. Denis is not a typical chartered accountant!
His work is based around these three dimensions:
Firm leadership
- Establish your vision and share it
- Get the right people
- Create a culture for success
Firm thinking
- Establish goals and objectives
- What are the strengths and weaknesses of the business
- What are the changes necessary to meet the objectives?
Firm action
- How can the changes be achieved?
- What are the resource requirements to effect the changes?
- Who does what and when?
