Our Approach

The Next-Round approach provides a solid basis for the growth of your organization.

The experience of many entrepreneurs is that once they have started they do not know how to grow further. Starting a business is relatively easy but once several staff members are taken on, steps have to be taken in terms of processes and communication. At that point it becomes increasingly difficult to keep track of what everyone is doing, the need arises to add new talent to the team, commercial frameworks need to be set up, it needs to be clear what everyone is being held accountable for and it becomes increasingly difficult to make the company's mission and strategy clear to all employees.

Addressing all these pain points is necessary to ultimately grow the organization responsibly and to make the most of the potential of you as an entrepreneur and your team.

Next-Round's approach allows organizations to grow in 3 stages.

Stage 1: Foundation

The prerequisite for growing a business is to avoid making mistakes in 4 fundamental areas. This is because the most minor mistakes lead to the maximum potential not being realized. 

1. First of all, it is about people! Everything hinges on having the right people in the right place at the right time. 
2. In addition, it is about the winning strategy that should lead you to do the right things both now and in the future. Looking for opportunities and making the most of them.
3. Furthermore, there has to be a focus on good operational execution so that profitability is maximized. And this is not only because profit is so important but also because it is a good indicator of how well your business is doing. 
4. Cash is indispensable for further growth. It is vital to have a good understanding of your cash flow to anticipate in time. Without cash, it is game over. Make clear what your cash flow is so you can anticipate it.

Stage 2: Discipline

Discipline is necessary to successfully implement all choices. This means setting clear priorities per period and translating them to teams and employees so that everyone knows exactly what their contribution should be to the company's success. This requires key figures to measure progress and these key figures must also be translated to group and individual level. In addition interaction is very important. Preferably frequent and structured. These interactions are characterized by their short duration and serve in particular to generate energy. Frequency leads to optimal synchronization in the organization.

Stage 3: Improve
Of great importance is a so-called "learning culture". Technology is increasingly essential in this respect. Digitize and automate as much as possible, focusing on continuous individual training and external support to challenge and improve the organization.

All this will ultimately lead to higher appreciation and profitability, less time to manage the organisation and, above all, more involvement and commitment from each individual.
