We zoom into a topic in the Agency Leaders Playbook, on Zoom.

Join Steve Parks and other agency founders for a deeper discussion of a key idea or issue for designing and growing an agency.

The session will be very practical, with lots of ideas, tips and tools that you can put into action in your agency straight away.

Topic: Agency Resilience (& Business continuity planning)

Many agency founders feel battered after a few years of what seems like one shock following another.

In each case the business has relied on the founders and the management teams working flat out to deal with the issues to stabilise the situation.

What if there was a way to prepare for problems that didn't involve you being psychic? What if you could put measures in place in advance that would save a huge amount of stress later.

Because problems and surprises will keep coming up — and you want your agency to be able to keep powering through it all.

Many agency founders know of business continuity plans as just something they had to knock up quickly (or copy from someone else) to satisfy a client procurement team. But, really, doing it that way hasn't helped them solidify the ability of the agency to respond to problems.

In this session we'll look at some simple steps you can take to put your agency on a much more solid footing, ready for whatever comes (and yes, it will also help with client procurement 😜 )

About the Agency Leaders Playbook

The Agency Leaders Playbook is the missing manual for designing and growing a creative/digital agency.

Founders are generally fantastic at doing whatever work the agency does for clients, but then find out they also need to run a business and lead a team.

Too often, they have to learn the hard way as they reach each new stage of growth.

They shouldn't have to deal with each new challenge on their own.

Other founders have dealt with these things before. The lessons have been learned.

By gathering together that knowledge and designing the tools that work, we can help make running an agency a little bit easier, a little bit more fun, and a lot more rewarding.

And so the key to our philosophy is that we're building this together.

In these Playbook Zoom sessions we both learn from the Playbook, and gather insights and ideas that will improve it.

If you want access to the Playbook, and you're not a Convivio member yet, you can join now and get access to this event for free.
