TCCI Business ClinicA significant part of the work Chamber does is strengthening the development of businesses in the private sector, by capacity building in the form of training, as well as offering Business Advisory Services. We were very fortunate to obtain the services of a business expert (Dr Beatrice Duffield), engaged via Australian Business Volunteers (ABV) to offer Business Advisory support to businesses in Tonga from 01st June – 05th August 2017 – FREE of charge!
In the time Dr Duffield was here, she was able to meet and assist 14 businesses across 9 Sectors (Retail, Agriculture, Services, Manufacturing, Rental, Construction, Tourism, Hospitality, and Information Technology). Outputs identified as a result of the support Dr Duffield offered these businesses included Increased productivity, Increased Sales/Profits, Cost Savings, Increased Staff Morale, Organizational improvements, Business or Strategic Plans, and Improved Accounting Procedures to name a few. |
