Experience the unique and artful approach of Alan Scott from Asmosys.
Be guided through your own process of osmosis – a cultivation of change from ‘the inside out’. A tailored process, unique to you, your situation and business, designed to identify all that needs to transform, to get you on track to achieving your personal and business goals.
The ‘Asmosys approach’ through all levels of engagement is invested in getting to know the ‘grass roots’ of who you are and the challenges you are facing. The first step is to be genuinely curious. To clearly identify your personal and business needs as well as the challenges and opportunities on your path to growth. To understand what needs to change, to be in the best position to formulate the strategies to execute to deliver the outcomes you need.
Our approach is focused on holistic outcomes. Outcomes that service you, your business and your life. We bring together both the personal and professional aspects that are so commonly segmented in business strategies involving growth. Too often we see the success in one area of life requiring a compromise in the other. At Asmosys we seek to align the core values that govern the direction of your life and business, formulating practical strategies that nourish and grow both.
Life Planning for the Business Owner
Is your life driving your business or is your business driving your life? Often business owners don’t take the time to answer this question. And answer it not just for themselves but also for their family. Our life planning process takes the business owner through a organic approach that answers questions around the purpose of their business in relation to their life. Setting priorities for not only themselves, but to also inform the priorities of the business.
Often this process includes life partners or spouses, in defining this life plan. In doing so we consider questions such as:
Where do you personally choose to be in five years?
What are your passions?
What lifestyle do you choose to lead?
What is important to your family?
What funding or business outcomes are required to allow you to live the life you choose?
Strategic Planning & Facilitation
Backed by over 30 years of advisory and consulting experience and a suite of applied business tools, we facilitate processes of business enquiry and reflection. Through this collaboration, we formulate the best strategies for growth, execution and sustainable development of resources for you and your business.
Example questions we would consider:
What is your aspiration and what does it look like when you succeed?
In which markets do you choose to engage?
What do you need to win in those markets?
What capabilities and skills do you need to be successful?
What are the priorities and investments required?
Leadership & Education Delivery
Capability and skills are fundamental to the successful execution of business growth. Such capability includes the leadership skills of the business owner and fostering the leadership capabilities of the key resources around them.
Leadership is just one capability that a business needs for success. The ongoing development of key business resources across many topics underpin success.
A core component of the Asmosys approach is to understand the strengths of the capabilities available and the skill gaps in execution that need to be developed or sourced.
Questions that we consider include:
How has leadership been defined within the business?
What is the current capability of the management team?
What are the current strengths in capability and delivery?
What skills need to be developed to provide the greatest return on investment?
What style of training best resonates with the business resources?
Board & Advisory Services
Having a mentor, coach, or available sounding boards is often seen as a foundation of success. Tapping into over 30 years experience in many facets of business has delivered referenceable results to clients. At Asmosys we are available to provide such bespoke advisory services. In ensuring such advisory services deliver value we consider:
How best can external advisory services further enable strategy?
What specific market skills are required to be sourced?
What networks are you looking to grow through an Advisory Structure?
How would you look to measure the success of advisory services deployed?
What advisory knowledge would you like most transferred to the business?

The Approach
-
At the core of every engagement lies being heard and understood. To understand the landscape of your life and your business we listen and allow the environment of change to develop. Together we determine the right question/s to ask; the keys to unlocking ‘YOUR’ process.
-
When the question is truly understood, you can fully trust in the processes that are brought to the table. Such understanding allows the facilitation and artful application of the process to unpack the outcome that the question is looking for.
-
This is where you fly. This is where you get to take full ownership implementing the external changes and embodying new ways of thinking. Committed and congruent leadership delivering the aligned actions will get the results you need.
-
Effective change is continuous. To experience and celebrate the results progressively. Such progress offers the opportunity to continually learn and evolve enhancing your next question.
Prue and David Pring - Post Form Laminating
“Over the past year, Alan has been an important part of our business success. He is able to explain complex concepts, he challenges us when we need it most and helps us dig deeper into issues than we otherwise would.
In addition, Alan has great business acumen and experience and he provides a human perspective which brings “who we are” alive in our business.
We are more than happy to recommend Alan to other business owners – but be “warned,” you will have to be prepared to go deeper than you anticipate. “
Adam Dando – Ronald McDonald House Charities Southeast Queensland
One of the challenges I was faced with as Chairperson was to lift the board out of an operational focus to a good governance and strategic focus.
Alan proved to be an integral part to the success of this transformation with his strengths in strategic planning and risk management.
He ensured that important conversations, tasks and topics were captured and followed through and helped establish a risk register, which was adopted by other Ronald McDonald House Charities chapters across Australia.
Alan is a deep thinker, his responses are well structured, he respectfully raises questions to ensure he understands decision making he might not align with and supports the group decisions when needed.
As a Chairperson, I truly appreciated these qualities, the commitment, and the practical input Alan provided.
Alan is a most certainly a high-quality addition to any board or strategic think tank.
Reach out, connect and see if it’s right for you.
We never know where a conversation can take us…
