- **Event Name**: Work Smarter, Not Harder – A Practical Workshop for Business Owners
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 29 Jan, 2026 at 09:30 am – Thu, 29 Jan, 2026 at 12:00 pm
- **Event Description**: This interactive half day workshop is designed to help small business owners make better use of their limited time, energy and resources.About this EventThe Business Support Service at Liverpool City Council are delighted to offer this fully-funded support workshop delivered by our Lean and Process Improvement expert Jaan Scott of Matchbox Associates Ltd and hosted by Business Doctors.Many small business leaders work long hours yet feel constantly behind — firefighting issues, juggling priorities and reacting to problems rather than moving the business forward. This session directly addresses that challenge by helping participants step back from the day-to-day, understand where effort is being wasted and identify simple, realistic actions to improve efficiency and productivity without adding complexity.Rather than jumping straight to digital tools or AI, the workshop first focuses on clear thinking and better ways of working. Attendees are guided to recognise inefficient activities, unnecessary processes and personal productivity constraints that quietly drain time and value. Once these are understood we explore how digital or AI tools might support better working — avoiding the common mistake of automating broken or inefficient processes.What attendees will gainParticipants will:Gain clarity on where their time actually goes versus where it should goLearn how to identify hidden inefficiencies in people, processes and ways of workingUnderstand why “being busy” is not the same as creating valueDevelop practical techniques to simplify work before improving itImprove personal productivity by addressing focus, priorities and decision bottlenecksLearn how to approach digital and AI tools sensibly and strategically, not reactivelyWhy this is valuableFor small and sole trader businesses, time is the most constrained resource. This workshop helps owners:Reduce wasted effort and reworkIncrease consistency and reliability in how work is doneFree up capacity without increasing hours or headcountImprove quality, customer experience and delivery confidenceReduce stress and overwhelm while increasing controlThese improvements directly support business sustainability, resilience and growth.What will attendees do differently afterwards… A clear action plan, not just ideasA key strength of this session is its focus on application. Every participant leaves with:A clear understanding of their biggest productivity constraintsA prioritised list of actions to stop, simplify and standardiseA short, realistic action plan they can implement immediatelyA framework they can reuse to improve future processes and decisionsThe goal is not just having insight, but momentum — helping business owners maximise the hours spent in their business creating real value for clients, customers and their organisation.Who should attend:This fully-funded workshop is for established Liverpool-based businesses, primarily those who have not already accessed LCC’s UKSPF funded business growth support – and we’d welcome applications from a wide range of entrepreneurs and sectors, particularly female-led businesses.
