SEAANZ Practitioner Insights
Working on, not in, the Business
This is a new addition to the SEAANZ White Paper and Thought Piece Series. These are written as observations and thoughts from our Board, as well as other interested parties, with the aim of starting or adding to important topical conversations.
In the first such offering we take up an issue that dominated the conversation at our September 2022 Board meeting – a conversation that began with the question of ‘how are the small businesses in your area going?’
It is with this rather grim and terrifying context in mind that we offer the following thoughts from members of the SEAANZ Board. The aim is to get the conversations going to provide practical, accessible resources and sources to small business to stem the potential for both financial and psycho-social for those we love and care about.
