ABOUT ME

ANDREW DAVIES

​Therefore Business Services is the business consultancy service I have established to support and extend the business services of schools and other Christian not-for-profit organisations. There is more about me here.

THEREFORE...

​I have chosen the name Therefore... for two reasons - the first is that it is a connector between before and after, and that is my hope - that I can help schools and other not-for-profits to improve their financial management and business capacity. Before, there was work to be done; a problem to be solved; an idea of what could be. Therefore... I hope that my services can assist organisations to move from the before to the after. The second reason is a little more 'cheesy' - if schools and not-for-profits need someone to support or extend their business services, that is what I am there for!

Are you looking for the Emerging Leaders Business Programme?

My Emerging Leaders Business Programme course is designed to give emerging leaders the fundamentals of business and governance of managing a Christian school. ​The course is currently being offered through a weekly series of Zoom sessions. For more information on the Programme, click here.

VALUES

I hold these values which are integral to the way in which I will conduct my business:

WORKING WITH INTEGRITY

...by avoiding potential conflicts of interest; when acknowledging the work and views of others; by being true to my word and not over-promising or under-delivering; not taking on engagements I am not qualified or experienced to undertake; speaking and writing honestly, without fear or favour.

---

ACTING PROFESSIONALLY

...exhibiting a pursuit of excellence and integrity in all engagements, deliverables and interactions, and providing high quality and insightful expertise and output, whilst remaining responsive to and respectful of all those that I work with.

---

EXPERTISE

...developing my expertise to respond and provide services that clients may be unable to do themselves; and develop connections to extend the service to each client to improve the value of the services offered.

---

INSIGHTFUL

...undertaking research to increase my knowledge; understanding industry trends and developments; and developing skills and expertise which will provide analysis and insight into the situation of current and future clients.

---

RESPONSIVE

...engaging with clients in a timely way; and not taking on assignments which cannot be performed within client time constraints.

---

RESPECT

...respecting those on boards, principals and business managers and the work circumstances they are in; always speaking and writing positively – or not at all!

---
