The Digital Advice Service
As a group of business coaches, we saw a huge and sudden demand during the pandemic. It became apparent that one of the most important elements for businesses is digitisation and, having worked in this area for many years, we knew that each business’ challenge would be unique to them. In order to create a program which works for all stakeholders, we created The Digital Advice Service.
What The Digital Advice Service Offers -
Upskilling business owners with the right educational tools, skills and knowledge on how digital strategy can assist their business growth, and also encouraging branding and presence online.
We give each business access to a wealth of digital experience from within our team. We are all experts in our areas and are fully engaged in delivering your digital coaching needs. Where possible, we engage local credible suppliers to teach best practise.
Teaching digital skills is not always a simple knowledge transfer exercise. One of the advantages of using The Digital Advice Service is that you can learn to cross pollinate, seek encouragement from others, and develop greater visitor numbers.
Why Use The Digital Advice Service?
Stakeholders
We bring together businesses, digital coaches, digital providers and local authorities to help them to get to know each other. The sale of technical services has not always helped businesses and enabling all stakeholders to work together, on economic growth, is key to our service.
We help business owners to feel less alone.
We help:
Cross sector business communities to learn together
Bring trusted digital service providers into view
Help economic development teams, to showcase opportunities.
We Keep it Simple
We are experts and we know that each business or cohort needs some tailored elements. We work hard during set up to create a process which works for each partner.
For established businesses, our curated data report and action plan are incredibly useful, as well as clear and easy to understand. The action plan advises you on the next steps to improve your digital (and sometimes non digital) optimisation.
For Business of All Ages
Understanding the local business mix is essential for local authorities, and our service helps to map a business’ digital maturity and continue to track progress.
For startups, or businesses without an online presence, we take a different method and help them to assess what is likely to work best for them. We also teach businesses how to use technical tools to scope out potential markets.
Stimulating Growth for Startups
Maybe someone wants to launch a business. Maybe they want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe they have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, our service can help them get started.
