What Can You Expect From The C.O.S.T. Optimiser Academy?

At the Academy, I work with your team consistently over a six month period to help them build the skills required for your Commercial & Procurement functions to become a leading performer and apply them to deliver both short term impact and long term sustainable value to your Company.

So that you can get the absolute maximum value from the Academy, and I can tailor my support to fit your specific needs, I host you (via Zoom) for two days worth of thinking, reviewing where you are right now and defining what success looks like over the course of the next 6/12 months.[/text_block]

However, translating knowledge into action can be challenging, especially when you get back into a busy office.
To ensure that you have the necessary support to tailor your C.O.S.T. Optimiser Programme to meet the needs of your organisation and to help you to maintain accountability, each Academy member undertakes a monthly 1-2-1 mentoring session with me.
This ensures that you apply your knowledge and skills and deliver tangible benefits quickly and build momentum over the longer term.[/text_block]

Each Academy group is carefully selected to ensure that members are open to group development, that they are prepared to contribute to the success of other members and are happy to share their experiences, both positive and negative.
Each group is made up of up to 10/15 organisations, facilitated by either me or one of my coaches. Each meeting creates a unique environment that provides each member with individual insight, coaching, strategies and leadership skills to help you make better decisions and achieve better results for your company.
For the immediate future, these will be facilitated via Zoom[/text_block]


Not only will you get instant access to these tools, you’ll get in-depth training in how to apply them within your Company.[/text_block]

I have established a dedicated Linkedin Group where all Academy members across all Groups can meet and share content, find answers, expand their network of influence and establish themselves as experts in their industry.[/text_block]


Acceptance into this Academy is strictly limited. I pride myself on delivering real value and working with those individuals and organisations that have the will and desire to take the actions required to deliver massive sustainable value.
Every application is evaluated and carefully considered by my team before a decision is reached. This is to ensure that the Mastermind Groups operate effectively with a peer group that all understand and value the need to contribute positively to support and guide each other.
Each applicant must pass each of the following stages:
1. Application form
2. Personal interview
3. A 30 minute strategy session
Once accepted, Academy members undertake the journey to master the modules of the C.O.S.T. Optimiser Programme, becoming a true leader and instigator of change within their organisation.
Mastermind Groups consist of a maximum of 15 members. If you’re ready to take the next step, click on the link below and start your application process.
I wish you all the best with your application.

How do the Mastermind Meetings work?

So the Mastermind meetings are part instructional, part discussion, part exploratory and part networking to create even greater value.[/text_block]

What if I miss one of the webinars?


Is this approach relevant to my industry?

I have successfully applied the approach to companies in Retail, Healthcare, Heavy Engineering, Transport, Utilities, Charities, Professional Services, Financial Services, Manufacturing.[/text_block]

What’s the deal with the software?

Included within the cost of the programme is all set up costs and a reduction in the standard operating costs. I also provide you with ongoing support to help you gain the maximum benefit from these systems.[/text_block]

How does your 400% ROI Guarantee work?

If, for whatever reason, you feel that the C.O.S.T. Optimisation approach will not deliver at least 4 times your investment with me, then I will gladly refund you the full cost of the programme. No questions asked.
I am here to deliver value – if you don’t feel that you are getting value, then I don’t want you to feel at any risk.[/text_block]

How long will I have access to the programme?


Can’t I just figure it out myself?

Look, I’ve worked with many companies who made every mistake you can make and have spent tens-of-thousands of pounds testing and tweaking the procurement and supply chain process so that you don’t have to. But hey, if you want to spend your valuable time and hard-earned money trying to figure this out on your own, you certainly can.[/text_block]
