    The business benefits achieved by having a diverse team, who are treated equally and fairly, in an environment where they can flourish as their authentic selves, are well documented.

  • Running a business or running a charity – the similarities and the differences
    Apr 13 2024

    In today’s episode of The Enterprise Doctor Business Show, my guest is Steve O’Connor, Director of the Rover & Rowing Museum in Henley-upon-Thames.

    I know Steve as I belong to the Henley Business Partnership and their lovely venue hosts the Partnership’s monthly networking events.

    We talked about the museum, what it does, and for whom. And it’s quite a broad offering!

    But the meat of the conversation focussed on the flow of Steve’s journey from the world of business into the third sector and we explored how that business experience has been of value to the charity, and the differences between the two.

    That included the challenge of balancing loss-making projects of benefit to the wider community against those losses – how do you value an intangible?

    You can connect with Steve via https://www.linkedin.com/in/steven-o-connor-a14b1a6/ and the museum’s website is at https://rrm.co.uk/ .

    Towards the end of 2023 they did some research into the plans for 2024 of small businesses, and the skills required. Changing how business conduct internal communications came out as one of the most important things to do, but how do we do that?
