This Week’s BBH Breakfast SPEAKER: Chris Scott – TurnerScott Consulting & CanSurvive Australia

Theme: Leadership, Purpose & Making an Impact

What happens when decades of corporate leadership experience are combined with a genuine desire to make a difference in the community?

This week we welcome Chris Scott, an experienced CEO, strategist, governance specialist and business advisor whose career has spanned the health sector, commercial enterprises, consulting and the not-for-profit world.

Chris brings more than 25 years of experience at Chief Executive Officer level, along with extensive experience in corporate governance and board leadership. Through TurnerScott Consulting, he has worked with leaders and organisations on strategy, leadership, governance and creating stronger, more effective organisations.

Today, Chris is also Executive Chair and Chief Executive Officer of CanSurvive Australia, a Sunshine Coast-based not-for-profit organisation supporting individuals, families and friends affected by cancer and chronic illness.

His involvement with CanSurvive brings another dimension to his considerable business experience — taking the skills developed through decades of leadership and applying them to an organisation driven by community, compassion and purpose.

Chris has also contributed extensively to community organisations throughout his career, including serving as a Life Member of the Association of Apex Clubs and in numerous board and community roles.

This week Chris will give BBH members an opportunity to hear from someone who has experienced leadership from many different perspectives — CEO, consultant, board director, community leader and not-for-profit executive — and explore what those experiences have taught him about business, people and purpose.

Discussion Question:

If you could use one skill, resource or connection from your business to make a positive difference in the community, what would it be — and who could it help?

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Knowledge:
Chris's career is a great reminder that the experience, networks and skills we develop through business can have value far beyond our own organisations. Come ready to think about what you've learned through business — and where else that knowledge could make an impact.

This Week’s BBH Breakfast SPEAKER: Joe Käck from Advantage Business Sales & Valuations

Theme: Is Your Business Actually Worth What You Think It Is?

We spend years building our businesses — finding customers, developing relationships, employing people, solving problems and hopefully creating something profitable.

But here's a very different question: would somebody else actually pay you for it?

This week we welcome Joe Käck from Advantage Business Sales & Valuations, a Sunshine Coast business sales specialist who brings more than 25 years of experience across sales, negotiation and running businesses himself.

Joe works with business owners through one of the biggest decisions they can make — selling their business. That means looking beyond turnover and profit to understand what makes a business attractive to a potential buyer, what can reduce its value and what owners can do well before they're ready to sell.

Selling a business is also very different from selling a house. Buyers want to understand the revenue, customers, key staff, systems, risks, competitive advantages and future opportunities — and importantly, whether the business can continue successfully without the current owner.

For BBH members, that's what makes Joe's perspective particularly interesting. You don't need to be thinking about selling your business to start building a more valuable business.

Whether your exit is five years away, twenty years away or something you've never considered, Joe's session is an opportunity to look at your business through the eyes of someone who might one day want to buy it.

Discussion Question:

If you disappeared from your business for three months tomorrow, what would keep working perfectly — and what would fall apart first?
